Happy New Year! So What Exactly Does Auld Lang Syne Mean?
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.
The song is sung around the world as the clock strikes midnight, heralding in a new year, a fresh start. It is said that it was written, at least in part, by Robert Burns in the 1700′s and based on earlier songs. The old Scottish song was first published in 1796 after Burn’s death. Auld Lang Syne literally means “old long ago” or “the good old days.”
We can only hope to see a positive improvement in the economy internationally, across the country and in our small corner. Hopefully, Hoppin’ John and collards graced your plate on New Year’s Day…every little bit helps.
