    prosperity for the year.
    No one should lend anything New Year's Day nor do they pay any bill.
    The people of the house always wish to have their first visitor that day a man. They would not be pleased if it was a woman.

    It falls on the 6th of January. It is called Little Christmas Day here. An extra good dinner is also provided for this day. The Christmas Candle is lighted that night for the last time.
