For Auld Lang Syne
I’ve set a place for you tonight at my New Year’s table, along with places for loved ones and friends from long ago. So please join us for a toast at the stroke of midnight as we remember days gone by, and look forward to the start of a new year. In the words of Robert Burns, let’s sing that sweet song:
Should old acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind?
Should old acquaintance be forgot,
and old lang syne?
CHORUS:
For auld lang syne, my dear,
for auld lang syne,
we’ll take a cup of kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.
New Years Tablescape
I love to use mercury glass and all that glitters. It shimmers and sparkles with candlelight. Glitter is my new favorite color!
A touch of blue for a pop of color.
A centerpiece using my glass ornament wreath. I filled it with silver baubles and starry string lights.
Coffee anyone?
A silver tray filled with champagne flutes for the ringing in the new year.
Welcome be ye that are here,
Welcome all and make good cheer,
Welcome all, another year.

And here’s to you, old friends and new alike. Saying goodbye to the old year and welcoming in 2014!
Cheers!
Glory to God in highest heaven,
Who into man His Son hath given;
While angels sing with tender mirth,
A glad new year to all the earth!
~Martin Luther
