Happy New Year, everyone!
As is our tradition, my family gathered in the living room to eat hors d’oeuvres and chocolates while we watched the Times Square feed on TV. A couple minutes after midnight, we had the annual realisation that none of us know the words to “Auld Lang Syne” past the first verse and so can’t sing very much of it ourselves, the annual hasty scramble to find a recorded version to play instead, and the annual reminder that we don’t speak Scottish and the reason we can never remember the other lyrics is because we can’t understand them.
Ah, tradition.
(On the other hand, “getting out a smartphone and bringing up an ‘Auld Lang Syne’ video on the Youtube app” is absolutely the right way to ring in a mid-2010′s year. It felt very Correct.)
