Monday Mystery: Solve the World Puzzle

As we come to the end of another year, I am feeling a bit melancholy. So, I decided to do a Word Puzzle today! Are you ready?

Here is the puzzle. Can you figure out the phrase?

Here are some hints:

• Say the words out loud and run them all together
• It is an old saying
• It has to do with the new year (or the old year)
• The picture on the saying is a big hint
