I heard a different story. It dates to slave times, too. On some plantations, slaves were given time off from the day after Christmas until New Year's eve. Often families lived on neighboring plantations and given the right paper work (and disposition of the slave) they were allowed to travel to se their families. Since they had to return to their own plantations by New Year's Day morning, the community would stay up all night, celebrating, worshiping, and spending those last moments together. As men were preparing to depart early in the morning, they would make last minute visits to the ladies and give them luck for the new year. This is were the custom of having a man be the first to cross your threshold on New Year's day is said to come.
