Speaking of traditions, January 25th is the birthday of the Scottish bard, Robert Burns. You may not recognize his name, but nearly everyone has heard of the poem Auld Lang Syne. It’s one of Burns’ best-known works, along with Tam o’ Shanter, To a Mouse, A Red, Red Rose, and Address to a Haggis.
A Burns supper is held each year on or around his birthday in celebration. The meal is traditional featuring haggis, neeps, tatties, and Scotch whiskey. The first meal was held as a memorial on the fifth year of his death and has become a tradition ever since. You can read more about Rabbie Burns by searching the internet.
And just to refresh your memory on the lyrics to Auld Lang Syne…
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And days of auld lang syne?
For auld lang syne, my dear
For auld lang syne
We’ll tak a cup o’ kindness yet
For days of auld lang syne
We twa hae run about the braes
And pu’d the gowans fine
But we’ve wander’d mony a weary fit
Sin days of auld lang syne
We twa hae paidl’d i’ the burn
Frae morning sun till dine
But seas between us braid hae roar’d
Sin days of auld lang syne
For auld lang syne, my dear
For auld lang syne
We’ll tak a cup o’ kindness yet
For days of auld lang syne
And surely ye’ll be your pint-stowp
And surely I’ll be mine
And we’ll tak a cup o’ kindness yet
For auld lang syne
And there’s a hand, my trusty fiere
And gie’s a hand o’ thine
And we’ll tak a right gude-willy waught
For auld lang syne
For auld lang syne, my dear
For auld lang syne
We’ll tak a cup o’ kindness yet
For auld lang syne
For auld lang syne, my dear
For auld lang syne
We’ll tak a cup o’ kindness yet
For auld lang syne
