Hi LaRonda,
Thanks for the lovely comment.
Yes, I sure remember all the good times we had at Julie’s house. Lots of laughter, fun, and chit chat!
I am glad we had the opportunity to meet each other in person!
Happy New Year!

Hi Betty,
Many thanks for your feedback.
I tried to avoid signing the song from word to word — trying to sign in ASL and having visuals to help people see the meaning of its song.
There is several different translations from the 1700s Scottish song — very, very, and very old Scot language. I understand that “Auld Lang Syne” means “long long ago” or “days gone by”. I am quite surprised to see you sign “friend” in that verse.
As I said in my vlog, I am not an expert at signing songs. I did my best!
I did not know about singing/signing the song at its very slow rate. I learned the song from my husband and his family. It appears they sung it at the normal pace?! I also have a bad habit of signing very fast! I thought I was pretty slow signing/singing! 
Again, thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Happy New Year!

Happy Happy Happy New Year to you and your family, Teri!
You know.. your way of celebrating the coming new year is a refreshing one and goes to show how one can have a great time at home with just the family and perhaps a few friends.
Like you I have never really ‘learned’ songs
- at least that one though I have seen the title many a time and had a pretty good idea of the meaning behind it.
One thing here. would you mind sharing the recipe for Beef Wellington? I have always wanted to try my hand at cooking that - where did that dish originate anyway? As you know, England is not exactly well known for their cusiune
you might want to consider the tree lights being on when making a vlog - the fingerspelling was a tad blurry when ‘blended in’ with the lights’ radiance.
One enny teeny word of caution
Again.. Happy Hew Year and may good things come your way in 2009!
hugs
R

Happppppppy New Year, too!!!
Yea! It is pretty a unique way to celebrate.
I posted some NYE midnight dinner photos on Facebook. Feel free to go look at them. You will get some ideas what Beef Wellington dish looks like! Recipe? I do not have it. Bill always cook without any cookbooks. I believe I can make the dish myself without any recipes, too. A good student, I am. So are you. Brown filet mignon steaks and put them aside to cool off. Roll a sheet of puff pastry and then brush some butter on it. Put a filet on a half sheet and then stuff mushroom duxelle (sauteed & chopped mushrooms). Add duck paté (fois grois — was pretty close, eh) if desired. Wrap it up and brush it with some melted butter. Bake it til puff pastries turn golden! Pretty simple? Make red wine or marsala sauce to go with the first rate meat pie! Yummy!
Thanks for your feedback regarding the tree lights. I thought it was cool and I left it alone before starting to sign. I did not think of my audience. Me bad!

Your song in sign lanuage is very beautiful. I got the goose bumps all over my body. We stayed home last night and watched a movie rental.

Hi
YES, My parents are originally from Scotland and I grew up celebrating every year with Scottish steak pies and other dishes on New Years Eve after midnight. What great memories! Great ASL Scottish song!!

Thank you for leaving a comment and sharing your memories.
My husband’s family is English-Irish-Scottish folks. My grandfather’s family are both English and Irish! Thus my children are more than half Irish/Scot. That’s why all of my children have both Irish and/or Scottish names.
How interesting! Your family celebrates NY by having steak pies. Beef Wellington is considered a meat pie. Let’s say first class steak pie!
Happy New Year to you!

You sang in sign language and it was very good. It was relaxing. It helped me relax. I had a good time last night for New Year Eve at my friend’s house. I hope 2009 will be better and successful. I hope to bump into each other in 2009, someday.
lol. Happy New Year! Stay well and positive!

Teri and Betty, I enjoyed watching both of your signed versions of Auld Lang Syne. I remember ‘’seeing” the song being sung and reading the words as a child but this grand opportunity to see this song signed, warmed my heart in sincere if not better appreciation for the song! Thank you both so much!
T~Thanks for sharing yourself with us all year long! Such a darling to open up with your perspectives on issues of the day!
Love to all this year and every year!

Belated Happy New Year 2009 to you and everyone else!
How interesting for us to celebrate the NYE in the dreary wintery time, not in the fall or spring season as many people used to do for many centuries.
The springtime blossom is the symbol of new life arisen.
The bountiful fall harvest symbolizes the human gratitude and blessings for people to look forward to the so-called new year.
Completely forgot about the Beef Wellington dish until your vlog mentioned.
Many people tend to consume German-style sauekraft for the good luck wishes within the new year celebration. Kinda superstitous for some people.

Thanks, Robert!
Yes, it is true that we are supposed to celebrate a new year sometime during spring time rather than in winter. I did a vlog telling a history of April Fool Day. The first week of April was the time for people to celebrate a new year. It was changed due to the old & new Style calendars — that impacts our nowadays ways of celebrating some certain special days such as Christmas and Easter.
Thanks for your input! Happy New Year!

Wow, you did a great job. I am a Scottish myself, and know the song very well. You did a great job translating it in your language. You got it very right. Congrats, be it in an order from UK.
