We Toast Our Success

The New Year warms up The old one winds down Celebrants don their apparel The good news to herald Will the songs be the same Will the jokes be as lame Will we toast our success Then drink to excess... Rituals help us mark Our annual milestone in time So, on the 31st of December I sneak into bed before nine

The old year is about to die and the New Year, waiting to be born. Let us greet the New Year with fresh hopes. Wish you a New Year of health, happiness and every success dear friend !

I imagine that most of us like our success toasted - lol - as long as the corned beef isn't smothered in mayonnaise on white bread! (Goyishe zachin!). Cheers

Just like the "old year" eh Gershon. A buddy of mine used to say "I don't get New Years. We stay up all night, shout Happy New Year and then go into the darkest of depressions until spring arrives.
