Happy New Year!

The team at FOF hope that you've all had a wonderfully relaxing and fun-filled Christmas and New Year - we certainly have! And to welcome us all into 2011 and a new decade, here's a stunning selection to celebrate the New Year and all that it stands for!

It's traditional to go first-footing on New Year's Eve, so here's something to keep those tootsies in tip-top condition.

In the UK, it's lucky if the first person to cross your threshold on New Year's Day is a man (although tradition doesn't say that it has to be a good-looking man...)

It's also considered good luck if that man brings with him either a lump of coal...(well, a bit of poetic licence was required here)

...or bread...

...or money.

In some parts of Britain, the gift of mistletoe is also considered auspicious.

Then, at the stroke of midnight, that's the cue for the fireworks to go off..
