First footing.
On New Years day in Scotland, it is tradition to take the host a piece of coal as good luck and to bring warmth.
When presenting the lump of coal, the first-foot should say, 'Lang may yer lum reek', a traditional Scots good luck blessing for the long dark nights, literally translated as 'Long may your chimney smoke.'

I would have to say the most interesting custom/tradition of the U.S. in my opinion is having a Christmas tree in our house. I would really love to know the history behind how the Christmas tree began in our homes. No one would put a tree in their homes and decorate it if it weren't for someone beginning to do that. I mean, who would ever think about bringing a freshly cut (almost dead) tree into their home? Who started that?!

in words of acquiring citizenship, particular international places settle for the theory that if you're a descendant of a member of a particular usa (how a procedures decrease back you may want to declare ancestry varies depending on the rustic), then you definately might want to nicely be granted citizenship in that usa. so a procedures because it is going in the different case, the purely thanks to be truly Indian might want to be to be born in India. there is not any longer something contained in the blood genetic makeup that would want to arise in a try as "this man or woman is in part Indian" in case you understand what I mean. i love claiming ancestry, so do not take me as a kill exhilaration or something. yet at the same time as it comes right down to it, if you're born in u . s . a . you're American, eire Irish, Scotland Scottish, China chinese, etc.

There are many. But one that sometimes makes me wonder how it started is, after a funeral, people gather somewhere and eat and drink as though they were just at a fun event. When someone dies, everyone brings food to the house, loads of food, and then there is a large party after the funeral. Strange.
