    I'm having a triple celebration that night cause I have a lot going on :D House party is the best option. Past years I had either an over-crowded expensive nightclub, or stay home with the parents.

    Although I'm sure I'll get drunk and cry anyway, New Years tradition and all.

    Do you suffer from short term memory loss?
    Maybe I do, or maybe I don't ... what was the question, again?

    I'm no sap, but I find NYE possibly the most depressing night of the year, for no reason exactly.

    I'll sit in with music on, phone off and not bother looking at the clock until the morning, at which point i'll just go "oh look, the date has changed, who would have believed it!?"

    *Note to self: possibly may enjoy NYE this year :p*

    Eh... yeah, we can bask in the misery of it all!

    NYE usually sucks. Nobody can decide where to be, or will even commit to something in case something better comes along, them doesn't. I usually stay home and we watch a dvd, then ring family at 12 and celebrate that way. At the in-laws this year, be a nice change from being, just the two of us.

    Me and a load of my mates (including all the other halves) have rented 3 houses in Dingle and will all be going down for the entire weekend. Did it for 2 of the last 3 NYs too. Great fun altogether, genuinely looking forward to it. About 22 of us in total, a few of which I haven't seen for a good while too.

    If you don't like New Years Eve, then don't celebrate it - don't spend it with friends, don't spend it with family, don't see it as a time to kick back & enjoy the end of the year & the start of a new one.

    Just sit at home & moan and whinge about how shite it is & how much of a let down it is.

    The rest of us will be celebrating it with people who are not cronic moany fuckers.

    I will probably just stay in and continue to listen to my awesome new headphones. If I go out I will just get depressed and probably cry at the countdown because my boyfriend will be half way across the country and I am soppy gob****e.

    I'm sick of people saying New Year's Eve is crap/waste of money/disappointing.
    For some people, it's a great time to be with friends and family, ringing in the New Year and soaking up the atmosphere.
    And before you say the atmosphere is "forced", nobody's standing on the bar with a megaphone screaming "Have fun!"-the atmosphere is there anyway.
    Lighten up ffs..or stay at home and be boring.

    what are you talking about....it'd be frackin brilliant! the fapping would have to be off camera of course but it'd be mega!

    I used to hate new years eve- always a messy let down, but the last five year it has rocked.

    Me and the OH have a tradition of Christmas 2. It involves staying in, getting too much pizza, getting hammered, playing SW battlefront 2/timesplitters and exchanging our christmas presents.

    It keeps the christmas buzz going after the 25th too :)

    Heading back to Madrid Friday morning and going to a house party. Looking forward to doing what the Spanish do and eating one grape on every chime for good luck. Came home to Ireland for the past 2, so my first time there celebrating it.

    I've always enjoyed myself New Year's Eve...totally depends on what your plans are. People give me a pain in the hole moaning about it.

    I shall be drinking in a bar for the first time ever on New Years eve. Have always been at home with family for it in the past.

    You gotta laugh at this thread.

    New Years eve is good craic if you have friends. If you don't, well then you'll be here in AH at 00:00 getting ready to type "Happy New Year!" (even though it's the "worst night of the year", you'll still be here celebrating... wtf!)

    The worst thing is people celebrating NYE on Facebook...

    Then you'll begrudge all the normal people out in the pubs or at house parties sessioning the absolute shit out of it, making threads about the eejits having fun with their friends...

    Spending NYE on After Hours is acceptable if you're 40+ though I guess.

    Also, yez are all a load of moaners.

    Yeah everybody knows people who dont go to pubs and clubs on NYE are antisocial freaks.
