Creative Costumes Ideas

It's time to arrange your New Years Eve party supplies. With the Christmas Holidays ahead, it would be wise to make your plans well ahead to avoid any shipping delays.

Some people like to spend New Year's Eve quietly with their family. Others like to celebrate with a New Year's Eve party culminating in a great deal of noise as the clock strikes midnight.

In many cities around the world crowds will gather if some central point to celebrate the New Year with a countdown, fireworks and much tooting of horns. In New York, for example, the well known ball drop on top of One Times Square is a tradition that dates back to 1906, and it attracts crowds numbering in the hundreds of thousands.

The city in celebration traditions perhaps account for the popularity of black and silver and Tinseltown themes for New Year's Eve parties.

Scottish communities especially like to celebrate New Year's Eve, or Hogmanay. It's a popular custom to link hands and sing Robbie Burn's old Scottish poem Auld Lang Syne as midnight strikes to mark the change of the year. Here are the lyrics to Auld Lang Syne (adapted as an English version):

Should old acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind ?
Should old acquaintance be forgot,
and old lang syne ?

CHORUS:
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.

CHORUS
We two have run about the slopes,
and picked the daisies fine ;
But we’ve wandered many a weary foot,
since auld lang syne.

CHORUS
We two have paddled in the stream,
from morning sun till dine† ;
But seas between us broad have roared
since auld lang syne.

CHORUS
And there’s a hand my trusty friend !
And give us a hand o’ thine !
And we’ll take a right good-will draught,
for auld lang syne.
