New Year's Eve?

Pebbles!

What's everyone doing to ring in the new year? Look for some suggestions...

Usually just stay local, few drink in the pub and on to a club. If we are lucky someone will trow a house party.
Clubs/pubs do be uncomfortable packed on the night :rolleyes: but does be great atmosphere I suppose.

Went into city center(Dublin) 3 years ago and it was the biggest mistake ever. waiting around hours for a taxi. Feck all taxi drivers work New years eve that's why I usually tend to stay local.

Theres a concert and fireworks in Dublin City centre on New Years Eve.

Its the official start of "The Gathering 2013" in Ireland......at midnight


Thats according to Minsiter Leo Varadkar on the radio yesterday

I hate the new year. I'm always devastated that Christmas is really over.

I'll be coming home from work and staying up until about half past midnight and then heading to bed because I've work the next day. Not a crazy new year for me anyway! :pac:

Not big into NYE, I go out a lot over Christmas so usually watch Jools Holland with some mates.

I'm glad it's not just me!
We should have a support thread on this forum. I spend so much time looking forward to Christmas that I'm almost in shock when it's over.
I'm genuinely devastated by the time January rolls around.

By February it's not as cold, the daffodils are budding, the evenings are getting longer and I'm already planning for next Christmas so it's all good.

NYE is a gimmick invented by the Vintners Federation. So feck them, I'm just going to get locked.

A small sherry and watch the tv

Quiet night in as usual; TV, the leftover Christmas chocolates, and maybe a tipple.

This year I'll have to study :-(

Of course the new year really begins at the winter solstice...

I love watching the pics from Newgrange showing the clouds blocking the dawn...AGAIN

Ridiculous having the winter solstice in the middle of...winter

I must admit I find New Year's Eve a real struggle, I find it very lonesome for some reason. I can't help thinking about people who have passed away and I wonder about what the new year will bring. (Hopefully, it will be a good year).

I plan on going out for dinner with my husband and six year old early in the evening, when we return we'll probably flick between the RTE Countdown to the New Year and Jools Holland's Hootenanny. Along the way there will be a couple of glasses of wine or champers and I'll make a few phone calls and sent some texts and PMs.

I'm the same. It makes me sad and lonely, and anxious for the year ahead.

Ah yes, Jules Hootenanny, an institution of the holidays that goes hand in hand with the countdown, a joy to watch.

That's more than twelve months away - plenty of time to sort that out!

What are we going to do this year???

A little confusion here I think.
31/12/2012 is New Years Eve 2012
31/12/2013 is New Years Eve 2013 (or NYE 2013)

Or am I wrong???

Eurox

Does it matter?????

Cheese Princess

I'm having a few friends over for dinner and then we're heading into a gig in Vicar Street.

Who is playing?

Not to you it seems

The Cool

Used to always go out on NYE with my friends up home in Donegal - mind you, for the first couple of years after I hit drinking age I don't think there was a single night I'd sit in over the holidays. There'd always be great gigs and stuff going on somewhere.
Last year was depressing as hell. I was upset on NYE so ended up going to bed early, incredibly pissed off.
This year I'm working NYE back in Dublin so I'll be going out here with some college mates.

Mick Flannery is ringing in my New Year in Cork Opera House. Depressing much?

Pebbles!

Looked at going to Dublin for the fireworks, thought it would be nice but hotels such a rip off that night :-(

It be a quiet one for me as far as I am aware, usually be out or be busy celebrating it but been a few year since I been out for it, someone always crops up or rather stay in!

Bubblefett

My boyfriend and me have "Christmas 2" on new years. We just spend the evening together, get a pizza and some bubbly and exchange Christmas presents! It's lovely cause Christmas is all about our families so it's our night just for us and it extends Christmas that little bit longer

Also it means we can buy our gifts in the sales
