In English (in Scotland) the first person one mets going from home on a special day (such as Christmas or News Years Day) is called a first-foot. This term also refers to the first person to enter one's house on those days, too. One of my favorite words in the OED is the Manx loan, qualtagh, which means first-foot.
Ceci n'est pas un seing.
