We are gonna help you out just this time...

We get it that you are not much into making toasts at the witching hour, but there is absolutely no reason that you shouldn't be prepared. If you stop in after 3pm today we will be tasting various "bubblies" and you should be able to find something to your liking to take home for later.

And to further smooth the way, here are some toasts for the "speechless". Pick what's appropriate. Raise a glass. Happy New Year.

Here's to the days of good will,
cold weather, and warm hearts.

A health to you,
a wealth to you,
And the best that life can give to you.

We've Holidays and happy days, and memory days galore
And when we've toasted every one, I offer just one more
So let us lift our glasses high, and drink a silent toast
To the day, deep buried in each heart
that each one loves the most

You, like many of us, might have a little "making up for some earlier-in-the-year errors" sometime this evening .  So in the interest of romance here are the words to the appropriate song and your favorite band playing further on down. To the light of the computer screen, sing along, hold hands, knock yourselves out.

Auld Lang Syne
by Robert Burns

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
and days of auld lang syne?

For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We'll take a cup o' kindness yet
For auld lang syne

We twa hae run aboot the braes
And pou'd the gowans fine;
we've wander'd mony a weary foot
Sin' auld lang syne

We two hae paidled i' the burn,
Frae mornin' sun till dine;
But seas between us braid hae roar'd
Sin' auld lang syne

And here's a hand, my trusty friend,
And gie's a hand o' thine;
We'll take a cup o' kindness yet
For auld lang syne

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
and days of auld lang syne?

For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We'll take a cup o' kindness yet
For auld lang syne
