The Sun Sets on 2012

While most Ocracokers were asleep last night, islanders half a world away, on Kiribati in the South Pacific, rang in the New Year.  By the time most of us are soundly sleeping tonight, American Samoans will be the final people on earth to see the clock tick away 2012. 

This evening is a chance to celebrate and reflect on the blessings bestowed by the past year, and time to cherish friendships and loved ones. 

Just a refresher, so you don't have to mumble along:

Should auld acquaintance be forgot

And never brought to mind

Should auld acquaintance be forgot

And auld 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
