Happy New Year!

Whether you welcome in the new year with a night out singing "Auld Lang Syne" or at home in quiet reflection, the holiday has always symbolized a new start. Wondering what the song "Auld Lang Syne" is about? Smithsonian Sidedoor does some musical sleuthing as to the song's meaning and association with New Year's Eve in a special holiday podcast episode.
