Here's to the days of good will,
cold weather, and warm hearts.
Then sing, young hearts that are full of cheer,
With never a thought of sorrow;
The old goes out, but the glad young year
Comes merrily in tomorrow.
Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring, happy bells, across the snow:
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.
Youth is when you're allowed to stay up late on New Year's Eve. Middle age is when you're forced to.
A man loves his sweetheart the most; his wife the best, but his mother the longest.
We've Holidays and happy days,
and memory days galore
And when we've toasted every one,
I offer just one more
So let us lift our glasses high,
and drink a silent toast
To the day, deep buried in each heart
that each one loves the most.
An optimist stays up until midnight to see the New Year in. A pessimist stays up to make sure the old year leaves.
The proper behavior all through the holiday season is to be drunk. This drunkenness culminates on New Year's Eve, when you get so drunk you kiss the person you're married to.
We meet today
To thank Thee for the era done,
And Thee for the opening one.
Drop the last year into the silent limbo of the past. Let it go, for it was imperfect, and thank God that it can go.
