In case you're new to these parts, I generally quote holiday songs this time of year. After some debate, I decided to go with something traditional this time around...
Should old acquaintance be forgot and never brought to mind?
Should old acquaintance be forgot and old lang syne?
For auld lang syne, my dear, for auld lang syne,
we'll take a cup of kindness yet, for auld lang syne.
And surely you’ll buy your pint cup and surely I’ll buy mine,
And we'll take a cup o’ kindness yet, for auld lang syne.
For auld lang syne, my dear, for auld lang syne,
we'll take a cup of kindness yet, for auld lang syne.
Harry: What does this song mean? My whole life, I don't know what this song means. I mean, 'Should old acquaintance be forgot'? Does that mean that we should forget old acquaintances, or does it mean if we happened to forget them, we should remember them, which is not possible because we already forgot?
Sally: Well, maybe it just means that we should remember that we forgot them or something. Anyway, it's about old friends.
(From When Harry Met Sally)
May next year bring peace, security and, most of all, joy for you and yours, my friends. Happy New Year and Merry Christmas too!
it happens every year,
