New Year's Eve Birthday

Ranked #5,425 in Holidays & Celebrations, #74,160 overall

It's an All-Day Celebration

Babies born on January 1 seem to be the ones lavished with prizes, but I guess my mom couldn't wait. Despite missing out on a month's supply of free diapers, my parents were pretty excited to have an instant family during their first year of marriage. For most of my life, I've been jokingly referred to as my dad's favorite tax deduction. I've grown to love my birthday over the years, especially since several friends and three family members also share the day with me. December 31 is a time for new resolutions and fresh beginnings. Even if December 31 is not your birthday, I hope you enjoy the day and its traditions as much as I do. Happy New Year!

Auld Lang Syne

A Few Facts Courtesy of Wikipedia

Auld Lang Syne is a Scottish poem written by Robert Burns in 1788 and set to the tune of a traditional folk song. It is well known in many English-speaking countries and is often sung to celebrate the start of the new year at the stroke of midnight on New Year's Day. The song's Scots title may be translated into English literally as "old long since," or more idiomatically, "long long ago" or "days gone by." The phrase "Auld Lang Syne" is also used in similar poems by Robert Ayton (1570-1638), Allan Ramsay (1686-1757), and James Watson (1711) as well as older folk songs predating Burns. In his retelling of fairy tales in the Scots language, Matthew Fitt uses the phrase "In the days of auld lang syne" as the equivalent of "Once upon a time." In Scots syne is pronounced like the English word sign and the trigonometric sine function.
