Marriage breakdowns, financial troubles, arguments with friends, family rifts put aside for one night of fun, expectation in the air like the smell of warm cookies.
"This year I am going to..." What? Finish that sentence? Loose weight, get that man, win the lottery, get that promotion, spend more time with family, get that business idea off the ground? So many choices!
There has been cynicism in recent times regarding New Year's resolutions.
"They never last" they splutter pouring dirty dish water over all your shiny dreams, and while I have never been one for resolutions, I am having a change of heart!
Don't let the cynics ruin that moment tonight because it's just like that feeling you get when you are a kid and you say "when I grow up" and believe it, why should we give up on that because we get a few knocks?
"Danny boy I get knocked down but I get up again" thanks Chumbly Wumbly and not just for tipping that ice bucket over John Prescott, for that truly is a motto for life.
So go on dream about all the things you are going to do this year, hold on to that feeling and take it with you, believe in your power to make things happen, to change, to be better.
That way when things do come along you will be ready to greet them like it's New Years Eve.
