An original poem about New Years Eve is read by an animated character while a slideshow rolls behind.
Below is the full text of the poem.
On the final day of the year we were all preparing
Putting on things that were new, sparkling and daring.
Cheerful and hopeful we traveled out to the square
Knowing that we'd meet many friends, old and new there.
Ma and I strolled arm and arm to our annual date
While the kids ran ahead for they just couldn't wait
To see musical performances from the latest acts
Peppered with jibber jabber from some talk show hacks
Only tonight the fans wear hats more outlandish than the stars
Even joining the melody with instruments like pots, pans and cars
close to midnight we say good bye to the ending year
While making resolutions we'll soon approach without fear
With just one minute to go the great toy starts to fall
Coalescing the masses to chant one and chant all
Counting down backwards from ten rhythmically to one
Then just past that final number unleashing the fun
Confetti, noisemakers and balloons create pandemonium
While you stare into the eyes of your one and only one
That first kiss after midnight is sweetened by a toasts
That you share with those present plus the new class of ghosts
Forgetting what has passed and forging new creation
It will all get started after a brief hibernation
For the next great journey, our collective new quest
Will get started after one well earned day of rest
