From The Pastor..
Auld Lang Syne is the official song of starting a new year. If you managed to stay awake until midnight on January 1st, then there is a good chance you heard the song after watching a ball drop over Times Square. With an archaic sounding phrase as the song title, it is sensible to assume that, Auld Lang Syne is an old tradition that has managed to endure into the modern era. That is not the case, and the association of Auld Lang Syne with New Year’s Eve is less than a hundred years old.
