At least partially written by Robert Burns in the 1700's, it was first published in 1796 after Burns' death. Early variations of the song were sung prior to 1700 and inspired Burns to produce the modern rendition. An old Scotch tune, "Auld Lang Syne" literally means "old long ago," or simply, "the good old days." 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 take a cup of kindness yet, for auld lang syne. Should auld acquaintance be forgot and never brought to mind? Should auld acquaintance be forgot and days of auld lang syne? And here's a hand, my trusty friend And gie's a hand o' thine We'll tak' a cup o' kindness yet For auld lang syne FOR LUCK IN THE NEW YEAR Debbie (Noland) Nitsche Diamonddeb@comcast.net Wednesday December 31, 2003 05:41:05 FOR LUCK IN THE NEW YEAR Traditionally, it was thought that one could affect the luck they would have throughout the coming year by what they did or ate on the first day of the year. For that reason, it has become common for folks to celebrate the first few minutes of a brand new year in the company of family and friends. Parties often last into the middle of the night after the ringing in of a new year. It was once believed that the first visitor on New Year's Day would bring either good luck or bad luck the rest of the year. It was particularly lucky if that visitor happened to be a tall dark-haired man. TRADITIONAL NEW YEAR FOODS Debbie (Noland) Nitsche Diamonddeb@comcast.net Wednesday December 31, 2003 05:42:14 Traditional New Year foods are also thought to bring luck. Many cultures believe that anything in the shape of a ring is good luck, because it symbolizes "coming full circle," completing a year's cycle. For that reason, the Dutch believe that eating donuts on New Year's Day will bring good fortune. Many parts of the U.S. celebrate the new year by consuming black-eyed peas. These legumes are typically accompanied by either hog jowls or ham. Black-eyed peas and other legumes have been considered good luck in many cultures. The hog, and thus its meat, is considered lucky because it symbolizes prosperity. Cabbage is another "good luck" vegetable that is consumed on New Year's Day by many. Cabbage leaves are also considered a sign of prosperity, being representative of paper currency. In some regions, rice is a lucky food that is eaten on New Year's Day.

The Legend of the 12 Days of Christmas Debbie (Noland) Nitsche Diamonddeb@comcast.net Wednesday December 31, 2003 06:09:41 The Legend of the 12 Days of Christmas The Meaning Behind the Medieval Christmas Carol "From 1558 until 1829, Roman Catholics in England were not permitted to practice their faith openly. Someone during that era wrote this carol as a catechism song for young Catholics. It has two levels of meaning: the surface meaning plus a hidden meaning known only to members of their church. Each element in the carol has a code word for a religious reality, which the children could remember. "The partridge in a pear tree was Jesus Christ. "Two turtledoves were the Old and New Testaments. " Three French hens stood for faith, hope and love. " The four calling birds were the four gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke & John. "The five golden rings recalled the Torah or Law, the first five books of the Old Testament. "The six geese a-laying stood for the six days of creation. "Seven swans a-swimming represented the sevenfold gifts of the Holy Spirit-Prophesy, Serving, Teaching, Exhortation, Contribution, Leadership, and Mercy. "The eight maids a-milking were the eight beatitudes. "Nine ladies dancing were the nine fruits of the Holy Spirit-Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, and Self Control. "The ten lords a-leaping were the Ten Commandments. "The eleven pipers piping stood for the eleven faithful disciples. "The twelve drummers drumming symbolized the twelve points of belief in The Apostles' Creed. So here is your history for today. This knowledge was shared with me and I found it interesting and enlightening and now I know how that strange song became a Christmas Carol WANTED!!!
