{{{ Evil or Very Mad

Actually did you know that xmas was effectively banned in Scotland for 400 years?- up to the 1950's the reformed protestant church thought it was 'papist' and a catholic invention, so traditionally for a long time Scots worked through xmas and got New Year off. Even today unlike England who only have the 1st of January as a national holiday in Scotland we get an extra day to recover, which we use to drink more Twisted Evil

Its thought that the Scots Hogmanay is a mixture of much older pagan Scots beliefs and pagan ideas about Yule brought in by the Vikings- in the northern isles the entire period is still referred to simply as Yule. There is no xmas.}}}}

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
and auld lang syne?

CHORUS:
For auld lang syne, my jo,
for auld lang syne,
we’lltak' a cup o’ kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.

And surely ye’ll be your pint-stoup!
and surely I’ll be mine!
And we’ll tak' a cup o’ kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.

CHORUS

We twa hae run about the braes,
and pou’d the gowans fine;
But we’ve wander’d mony a weary fit,
sin' auld lang syne.

CHORUS

We twa hae paidl’d in the burn,
frae morning sun till dine;
But seas between us braid hae roar’d
sin' auld lang syne.

CHORUS

And there’s a hand, my trusty fiere!
and gie's a hand o’ thine!
And we’ll tak' a right gude-willie waught,
for auld lang syne.- Rabbie Burns

Happy New year everyone Smile

Happy New Year, all! For the first time in ... probably at least 10 years we're not just getting together at an aunt's house but actually going into the city to see the fireworks there. Haven't been since I was little so I dunno how much the festivities have changed, but it should be fun. Smile

Used to be (and probably still is) that they set the fireworks off from a barge in the middle of the Inner Harbor, which is right in the heart of the downtown area.

by azriel Sat Dec 31, 2016 7:37 pm

There's fireworks going off right now where I am Smile

It will get more Fizz bangy as the night goes on. IL wait for the chimes of Big Ben, & then fook off to bed. I still get butterflies in my tummy about the coming of a New Year Smile
