    Oh God no! Hate New Years for two reasons it never lives up to the hype and it always seems laboured* and when New Year's is over it always means it the end of the Christmas holidays and therefore back to work!!!



    My favourites are Christmas Eve and Stephen's Day.


    *Although having said that, I've had some cracking New Year's down through the years. But not many!

    If I had to nominate any "special day" 26th would be it, but often I AM at work the following day! :(

    I love Christmas too :) - the whole two weeks we close for is brilliant and the day we finish we always go to lunch with the boss and get a very generous bonus that I spend fairly fast ;) Love new years eve too - we always have a great house party. Coming in 3rd is Paddy's Day. The craic in the pub is great.

    New years is the biggest anti-climax ever.

    Halloween is one of the better days of the year alright

    Christmas Eve.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 211 ✭✭dictatorcat


    Mine's Halloween too, i throw a party every year, i love fancy dress :D Christmas involves being at home too long until you family drive you mad, new years is indeed an anticlimax. The worst day of the year is easy, that has to be Valentines day. Does anyone like it???


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,068 ✭✭✭stagolee


    normaly id say xmas eve but this year im working right through xmas :( so ill say newyears its normaly a bit of an anticlimax but theres the odd absolutley classic one every so often :D

    I absolutely love the 12th of may! The feast of St. Nereus! Oh yeah, can you feel it!

    The time around Halloween - most of my relationships have started around this time.

    For me it has to be payday.

    Paddy's day can be good, but I don't like any of the other holidays much.

    Valentine's is just over-rated. I mean it's just another day in the year, yeah it's nice to take time out and spend it with ur loved one etc. but come on.. it's turning into a small Christmas!! commercial crap!!!! :mad:

    but I do like it :D

    HAPPY LOVE DAY, EVERYONE!!!!!111ONE

    I prefer Christmas. Not because of its religious bits. It's one of the few times the family is in the same place at once, and everyone's relaxed and contented.

    This Christmas is going to be the first I have to work for all week. I'm not looking forward to it. Of course, the day I quit this meaningless excuse for a job will likely remain my favourite for many months after...

    October 30th and on certain years i get to have a 25 hour birthday. not this year though :(

    actually I despise valentines day. Its another money racket too soon after christmas.

    Christmas Day is always good. I get nostalgiac sometimes thinking back to the way my borthers and sister and me used to gather at the top of the stairs and go down together on Christmas morning and see what was under the tree. It's actually one of those moments I'd love to relive and feel the excitement and innocence of it all again.

    Having said that, I do get an incredible peace at Christmas and enjoy it immensly. Midnight mass (well 9.30pm mass really), the walk home after, cup of Barry's tea, staying up past midnight just talking about nothing in particular, opening one or two presents after that.

    The Christmas morning walk, everyone greets each other as they pass in the street, Carols on the radio, the post dinner lol in the couch watching some old film and dozing off half way through, the stillness of the church on a quiet visit to the crib in the afternoon. Trivial pursuit in the evening with a few cans, sound asleep as soon as the head hits the pillow...
    Sweet dreams....

    I like that day when Spring arrives. The day when you know Winter is over.
    But to be specific, I kinda really like St. Stephen's day.

    I love Christmas. Although my job has killed most of the fun of the runup to it.
    I also like my birthday (24th June - Summermas Eve!), though it sucked this year because I was dealing with a lot of college-related crap. Though Metallica were on the day after so all was well. :)
