Okay, so it's three words and technically a phrase, but what does is mean?! I figured since it is the new year and the phrase is featured at the end of one of my favorite holiday movies (It's a Wonderful Life) it is time to find out!
The phrase is from Scottish and Northern English descent.
noun
1. old times, especially times fondly remembered
2. old or long friendship
Knowing that it seems even more appropriate for the New Year as we reflect on the year that has just passed. HowStuffWorks notes the the song is Scottish and extremely old, written in the 1700's. And I thought Bing Crosby Christmas songs were reaching a ways back!
