About Seasonal

Every New Year's Eve, in living rooms and city squares alike, millions of people join hands and sing a song most of them only half remember — and it doesn't matter at all. Robert Burns shaped "Auld Lang Syne" into the poem the world knows in 1788, drawing on an older Scottish tradition of honoring days gone by. The words mean something like "old long since" — times past, old friends, the years that made us — and at midnight they feel true in a way that's hard to explain but impossible to mistake.
