Does anyone actually know the words to Auld Lang Syne?!

People always point out that ‘New Year’s Eve is always underwhelming’, making out like they are saying some kind of shocking, controversial opinion. Whoever they are telling then proceeds to agree, thinking it is the spookiest coincidence in the world.

Haven’t people yet noticed that New Year’s Eve is, in fact, nothing at all but an excuse for a good party? I mean what are they expecting? The clock strikes midnight and all over the world calendars leaping in the air off their own accord and transforming into pages plastered in the new date? Historical figures rising from the dead to welcome in the new year? Our true love actually arriving at the party and giving us seven swimming swans? The reality is that, when the clocks strikes 12, and our countdown reaches its climax, it’s over. Christmas is over for another year and we are just left standing, staring at our phones and watches to check that the date has changed. "New Year’s Eve doesn’t interest me really, I’m more of a Christmas type of person" says everyone. Who are these people who prefer December 31^st to the 25^th (and do they know it’s Christmas time??) Everybody has an idea in their mind that they are missing some kind of New Year’s Eve twist; that they are on their own in thinking that night is over-rated but do you know what I think? I think Christmas is gone, another year is over (a new one just begun) and we just want a good old moan at anything we can set our sights on. The clocks strike 12, the crowd disbands, we go to bed and wake up grouchy the next morning. That's all that's gonna happen. Deal with it.
