New Year’s Day, January 1. It is customary for people to remain awake until after midnight on December 31st so that you may “watch the old year out and the new year in”. Many parties are given on this night. The theatres, night clubs, and restaurants are crowded.
When midnight comes, everyone at a party stops whatever they are doing to greet the New Year. The favourite song for a New Year’s Eve party is “Auld Lang Syne”. The title of the song means “Time Long Past”.
The traditional words of the song were written down by the eighteenth century Scottish poet Robert Burns.
The people gather in the streets of the big cities. They ring bells. They blow whistles and automobile horns. Some shoot off guns and firecrackers.
After celebrating the New Year’s arrival, many people spend this day visiting friends.
