Celebration

The world celebrates a holiday that's "sentimentally symbolic." With bombastic, "fantastic fireworks," we greet New Year's Eve. Revelers stoked, thoroughly usurped as if by a magical spell. Abounds the sounds of popping corks of "chilled champagne!" Toasting auld ang syne and future, good health as we hobnob, all wearing grins as life begins with hope for a grand new year. It's a "jubilantly joyous" occasion, an "enthralling extravaganza" with a tender kiss from a loved one at the stroke of midnight. The last seconds being counted down "to the tempo of timpani" The ceremony peeks and everyone speaks in loud crescendo. Resolutions made but not often kept are part of the holiday tradition.

I hope it's correct, Tom. I wrote another one, but then realized it didn't quite have all of the correct components, so it was back to square one. It kind of boggled the mind, but I like a challenge. Thanks, and yes, time is moving much too quickly.
