Auld Lang Syne
A Few Facts Courtesy of Wikipedia
"Auld Lang Syne" (: note "s" rather than "z")
Search for "lang syne" at The website of the Dictionary of the Scots language
is a Scottish poem written by Robert Burns in 1788 and set to the tune of a traditional folk song (Roud # 6294). 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 at the start of 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.nls.uk
Matthew Fitt uses the phrase "In the days of auld lang syne" as the equivalent of "Once upon a time..." in his retelling of fairy tales in the Scots language.

My son was born on January 2! We did celebrate it on New Year's Eve some years though. It was fun. One year when he was younger, we had a party with his friends and at 12 noon had a toast of sparkling apple cider.
