In the new year, the English tradition tells us that the first person who crosses the threshold of the door will mark the fate of that home during the new year. This tradition is known as the "First Step" and takes place at midnight on December 31. This person has to bring a piece of coal, a loaf of bread and a bottle of whiskey, which he gives to the head of the household.
