    The customs of the New Year are. It is said that if a woman went into another persons house on New Years day she would bring bad look for the year.
    Long ago people used to go around on New Years day wishing a happy New year and gathering bread. Tis an old saying that any thing you will do on that day that you will be doing it for the year.
