In just over two weeks, 2023 will inch its way from one side of the globe to the other. Its progress will be visible only by the trail of confetti, discarded bottle corks, and single-use plastic left in its wake. But whatever glass you raise as the new year sweeps over you, one thing will always be the same. Someone will ask you to hold hands across your chest and sing Auld Lang Syne. You might sigh and roll your eyes, but you’ll join in.
