Welcoming the New Year in 1908 and 1912.


"Auld Lang Syne" was a Scots poem written by Robert Burns in 1788 and set to a folk tune of the day. Similar sentiments have been attributed to other writers of even earlier times.
The tune was made popular by Canadian band leader, Guy Lombardo, starting in 1929. (Wikipedia)

Smile for Today ~

Put "Eat chocolate" at the top of your list of things to do today.
That way, at least you'll get one thing done!"

Forget love ~ I'd rather fall in chocolate.

My soul's had enough chicken soup. It wants chocolate!

Chocolate is cheaper than therapy, and you don't need an appointment.

Hand over the chocolate
and no one gets hurt!
