Old English Custom to bring money into the home in the New Year

My step-Grandfather was from Cornwall, and every year we have done this since I was little.

You put money out on the "Stoop" on the last day of the year. Tomorrow, bring the money inside the house. This is to help bring money into your home all year long.

So last year, I put $20 out, I always put $1, and my adult income has increased 15% this year over last year, Dec is about 34% over last Dec, so its been increasing more as the year progressed.

Tonight, I'm putting $100 out.

Since we are all hurting for money, figured I'd share it, cause it can't hurt.
