The words to Auld Lang Syne were written by the great Scottish poet Robert Burns in 1788, and set to an old Scottish folk melody. Auld Lang Syne became the standard song of New Year’s Eve, and even though it has nothing to do with Christmas, it is often sung during the holiday season.
People sing Auld Lang Syne all around the world as the clock strikes midnight and brings in the new year. The song also has been featured in several movies, notably at the end of the Christmas classic, It’s a Wonderful Life, with Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed.
