Hearth and home in focus on New Year's - Cyprus Mail

?

AN EVENING by the fire with plenty of food and drink, in the company of friends and family is how most people seem have spent New Year?s Eve last night.

With the exception of a few people who said they planned to continue their evening after the countdown at a local club or bar the majority were content with spending the turn of the year with loved ones with food, drink and possibly some card games.

?We will be bringing in the New Year by the fireplace, with ample food and drink,? 47-year-old businessman Koullis Kyriakou told the Cyprus Mail. ?We will hopefully be putting this bad year behind us,? he added.

Angelos Sakkas, a 30-year-old insurance broker, Andreas Charalambous, a 32-year-old postman and Eric Berzi, a 34-year-old project manager planned to spend the New Year in the company of close relatives and loved ones, entertaining themselves with cards or board games.

?We, my wife and two boys, will be going up to the mountains, to Kakopetria, where we?ve booked a hotel room with a lovely fireplace,? 34-year-old Koullis Mavroudes said. ?The festive period is a time we spend with family and those closest to us,? he added.

Although he will be spending time with his family, 65-year-old artist, Andreas was not swept away with festive cheer. ?Tonight is nothing special,? he said. ?We will spend the evening at home as we usually do, like every other day of the year,? he added.?

One person we found who was not spending the eve of the end of 2012 at home was 24-year-old Tania. ?I plan on welcoming the New Year in the company of friends and loved one at a local bar,? she said. ?My husband?s family and my family are both abroad so we thought that we would get together with other friends whose families are also abroad, to see in 2013,? she added.

Stavros Andreou, 29, a caf? owner planned on continuing the festivities after the countdown. ?The plan is to spend New Year?s with the family and then head out to Zoo club with some friends,? he said. ?Last year I didn?t end up going anywhere so I thought for a change I would club it,? he added.
