That song sends a mixed message to Jerry - is his Christmas going to be Merry or sad?

In 1647, the English parliament passed a law that made Christmas illegal.
Festivities were banned by Puritan leader, Oliver Cromwell, who considered
feasting and revelry, on what was supposed to be a holy day, to be immoral. The ban was lifted only when the Puritans lost power in 1660.
In 1752, 11 days were dropped from the year when the switch from the Julian
calendar to the Gregorian calendar was made. The December 25, date was
effectively moved 11 days backwards. Some Christian church sects, called
old calendarists, still celebrate Christmas on January 7 (previously
December 25 of the Julian calendar).

3.The tradition of using a baby to signify the new year was begun in Greece
around 600 BC It was their tradition at that time to celebrate their god of
wine, Dionysus, by parading a baby in a basket, representing the annual
rebirth of that god as the spirit of fertility. Early Egyptians also used a
baby as a symbol of rebirth. The use of an image of a baby with a New Years
banner as a symbolic representation of the new year was brought to early
America by the Germans. They had used the effigy since the fourteenth
century. Other traditions of the season include the making of New Year's
resolutions, which also dates back to the early Babylonians. Popular modern
resolutions might include the promise to lose weight or quit smoking. The
early Babylonian's most popular resolution was to return borrowed farm
equipment.

4.The first rooftop celebration atop One Times Square, complete with a
fireworks display, took place in 1904. The New York Times produced this
event to inaugurate its new headquarters in Times Square and celebrate the
renaming of Longacre Square to Times Square. The first Ball Lowering
celebration atop One Times Square was held on December 31, 1907 and is now
a worldwide symbol of the turn of the New Year, seen via satellite by more
than one billion people each year. The original New Year's Eve Ball weighed
700 pounds and was 5 feet in diameter. It was made of iron and wood and was
decorated with 100 25-watt light bulbs.

"Auld Lang Syne" is sung at the stroke of midnight in almost every English-speaking country in the world to bring in the new year. At least partially written by Robert Burns in the 1700's, it was first published in 1796 after Burns' death. Early variations of the song were sung prior to 1700 and inspired Burns to produce the modern rendition. An old Scotch tune, "Auld Lang Syne" literally means "old long ago," or simply, "the good old days." Here are the lyrics:
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 of 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?
And here's a hand, my trusty friend and gie's a hand o' thine
We'll tak' a cup o' kindness yet for auld Lang syne

Glory glory hallelujah
Teacher hit me with a ruler
I met her at the door with a loaded .44
Now the teacher don't teach no more!
I have seen the glory of the burning of the school
we have tortured every teacher,
we have broken every rule
we have barbecued the principal,
destroyed the PTA,
our school keeps burning on
Glory, glory hallelujah.
Teacher hit me with a ruler.
Met her at the door with a magnum .44
Now there ain't no teacher no more.

Scooby dooby doo, took a poo,
Shaggy thought it was candy.
Shaggy took a bite,
his balls turned white.
That's the end of poor shaggy.
Pepsi cola came to town. Coca-Cola
shot him down. Dr. Pepper fixed him
up. Now we're drinking 7-up. 7-up
caught the flu. Now we're drinking
Mountain Dew. Mountain Dew caught it
too... NOW WE DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO!?
