Happy New Year

Auld Lang Syne Should auld acquaintance be forgot

and never brought to mind?

Should auld acquaintance be forgot

and days of auld lang syne?

For auld lang syne, my dear,

for auld lang syne,

we'll take a cup of kindness yet,

for auld lang syne

Everyone sings this song on New Year's eve, before the midnight stroke, holding hands, hugging each others and taking the advantage of hugging strangers in the countdown party blah blah blah......think about it, how many actually know the meaning of this song? To start of, what's the meaning of Auld Lang Syne....

Ok, ok, ok, since it's New Year's eve's eve, I shall not torture you all in starting a google search for the meaning. The word came from the old scottish dialect meaning 'Old Long Ago' and is about love and friendship in times past. The song Auld Lang Syne is traditionally sung by most of us on the stroke of midnight each New Years Eve. However in Scotland, where Auld Lang Syne originates it is also sung on Burns Night, January 25th, to celebrate the life of the author and famous poet Robert Burns. Also, do you know that this song is part of the Christmas Carols???

Happy New Year to one and all.....

See you next year
