WE KNOW HOW you feel. It’s New Year’s Eve and, sure, what have you done?

So do like we do here in TheJournal.ie HQ, ignore the regrets and should-haves and get stuck into a serious debate on one of life’s most pressing issues. Probably.

Tonight: New Year’s Eve is a pretty divisive event, isn’t it? Some people shrug their shoulders, some make it their party night of the year while some actively hate it. (And that’s just us stuck here in TheJournal.ie HQ).

How do you feel about it? Is New Year’s Eve – or at least waiting up to ring it in – worth getting worked up about?
