Here’s a link to the original Auld Lang Syne- I like it better than the more familiar one. This one is lovely and haunting.

Coming from a long line of Scots with our castle in John O’ Groats, I have never heard of this practice.

Too bad I am not tall dark and handsome. I do have some coal and silver ores though.

The first person to cross the threshold at Hogmanay brings all the luck, good or bad, for the year ahead.

That sounds just like Tết in Việt Nam. I will be there for this next Tết for the first time since the war. I usually go in the summer when the air fare is normally cheaper. This year I got a deal. My friend in Khánh Hòa says I will be very busy in the wee hours of Tết because I have to go around to be the first to cross many thresholds. In 2003 I was the first foreigner to visit their town since 1973 and, as an American, am regarded as the "luckiest" person available.
