Blonde or Brunette

The first person to enter a house on Christmas morning should have dark hair if you want good luck. This is because Judas had red/light hair. If a person with light hair entered a house first, he or she would bear all the blame for the ill fortune of the following year.

Someone here posted a collage of all the blond Fox News women, and seeing them all together, it looks like they all passed the same hair dye bottle around.

are related to the United Kingdom, and can be found in W.C. Hazlitt's Dictionary of Faiths and Folklore.
Scandinavian countries have their own weird things, most likely, but I don't have a book about them, yet.
