New Year's is celebrated in many different ways throughout the world - even on many different dates. In Canada, New Year's is celebrated on January 1 of each year, which is one of our eight statutory holidays. |

On New Year's Eve, many people hold parties which last until late into the night. It is traditional to greet the new year at midnight and celebrate the first minutes of the year in the company of friends and family. People may dance, sing, and drink a toast to the year ahead. After the celebrations, it is time to make new year resolutions, and these are a list of decisions about how to live in the coming year. Horns are blown at midnight, and people hug and kiss to begin the new year with much love and happiness. Auld Lang Syne, with words by Robert Burns, is often sung at midnight on New Year's Eve.
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 And here's a hand, my trusty friend, And gives a hand o' thine; We'll take a cup of kindness yet For Auld Land Syne For Auld Lang Syne, my dear, For Auld Lang Syne; We'll take a cup of kindness yet For Auld Lang Syne |
