I can't remember a New Year's Eve that I didn't spend in
front of the TV watching Dick Clark, and the glittering ball drop in Time's
Square. I loved seeing all the people
gather around, I knew they had to be freezing out there in the cold, but the excitement
kept them warm. I would watch all the
musicians singing, and would long to be there, and to kiss my special someone
at midnight.
That special midnight kiss on New Year's Eve has always
been a dream of mine that I am still waiting to come true. My prince charming would always be fast
asleep at midnight, so I never got the chance. I did try to wake him up one
year, but that was a disaster. He would
try to stay awake, but always fell short.

New Year's Eve is a very special time; we are saying
good-bye to the old year, and hello to the new.
It's time for a fresh new start, and forgets the past. Time to make plans and dreams for the coming
year.
I guess the most memorable New Year's Eve during my
lifetime was December 31, 1999, and not just because of the song I'm gonna
party like it's 1999. There were so many
fears and concerns about moving forward to a new century, it was even given its
own name. Y2K. There were so many rumors about the world
coming to an end and computers crashing, and banking problems, even electrical
and communication problems. But, as it
turned out, no problems at all occurred, and the new millennium went off
without a hitch.

So tonight, on New Year's Eve, take some time to reflect
on 2011 and all the good things that happened as well as the not so good, Sing
a round of Auld Lang Syne, and if you are out celebrating, please drink
responsibly.
Auld Lang Syne
Should old acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind ?
Should old acquaintance be forgot,
and old lang syne ?
CHORUS:
For auld lang syne, my dear,
for auld lang syne,
we'll take a cup of kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.
