Hope you all have a very happy and joyful Hogmanay and a great Ne’rday. I will raise my glass in toast to you all whilst we bring in the bells at Jinty’s tonight. I am singing there, as I have done for the last 10 years to bring in the New Year. It’s great craic, extremely busy, noisy, and most years we end up standing on beer barrels to play ‘cause there is no room left in the pub, but it’s home! Can’t believe how fast this year has went by but when I think back to all the great places I have been to and all the wonderful people I have met along the way from the “President” to “The Georgie Girls” and all you wonderful Thunderheads, I think time most have slowed down a bit to fit it all in.
Thank you for all the Christmas cards and presents. We had a lovely family Christmas which means quite a lot of people when you have a family as big as mine! Sarah also wishes to thank everyone who wished her a Happy birthday, she couldn’t quite believe all the twitter messages that were for her. I swear she’s aged since Tuesday already, which is too scary ( my baby is growing up).
Well got to go and play to the masses, shame you can’t all be here. Wishing you all love and best wishes for 2010, hope to meet up with you all at some point.
Roll on 2010, have to get back to the gym……. that’s my new year resolution.
Love and best wishes and a wee dram to you all.
George, Carrie & Sarah

All the best to you and your wife and Sarah! Happy belated bday to the little miss. I bet you are an amazing Dad.
We look forward to more news and lots of CT men in our New Year. Can't wait to get my hands and ears on the new CD/DVD. Want to bring back those wonderful memories of two nights in T.O. for the tapeings, it was great.
Big hugs and cheers. Wish I could have been at Jinty's...wow, bet it was loads of fun.
All the best, Kathie

Best Wishes
Wishing you,Carrie and Sarah a wonderful and joyous New Year! Although you don't need my wishes,I still had to give them. I don't know how old Sarah is but a belated birthday to her
SWEET!
Thanks for the well wishes George! I had a lot of fun meeting you and the lads and your family this year. Good to hear you're having a fun holiday season and that Sarah had a great birthday! You are the sweetest family, when you talk about Sarah my eyes well up!
HAVE A FABULOUS 2010! I'm sure I'll see you around!

Happy New Year
Let me start by saying, Happy New Year!
Hope you had a lot of fun @Jinty's....Yes Sarah just might have aged since tuesday we only daughters have a way of doing that to our daddys 
my Da said just the other day to my manager when they were talking about my recent premotion to headteller that he cant belive how fast I have grown up;then they started talking about good ol days when I was little which I will spare you and myself since it brought wee tear to my eye hearing him talk about them. So just remember no matter how fast we grow up we will always have a place in our hearts for dear Da! Maybe when Sarah is 27 like me she will see you as her best friend like I do me Da.
Well I have kept you from your famliy long enough hold on for the wold ride to come in 2010! God Bless!
Oh yeah and if I dont remind you that mom still thinks YOUR NUMBER ONE! I might get in a wee bit of trouble
Thanks for keeping us posted!

Happy New Year to you, too,
Happy New Year to you, too, and to Carrie and Sarah. Sarah is at that age when they seem to grow and mature overnight. But at least you know that she (and the rest of you) have a whole bunch of Thunderheads praying for her as she grows.
In my next life, I want to be Neil's guitar.
Happy New Year!
Thanks for the blog, George, it's always good to hear from you!
Haha, I'll just say again, Happy birthday to Sarah! I hope she got everything she wanted for her birthday!
Wish I could be at Jinty's with y'all, but I'll be there in spirit! I really hope to hear you play there someday, and it might (very hopefully) become a reality within the next two years! No guarantees of course, but hey a girl can dream, right?
Happy New Year, George, Carrie and Sarah! It's sure to be a good one, I can feel it in my gut! Hope to see you all again soon!

Happy New Year!
George,
Thank you for all the messages and wishes from you and your family. It's been quite a ride watching Celtic Thunder evolve--and I have a strong feeling that there is a lot more to come. The clip from "It's Entertainment" is exciting and wonderful. Your fans in Des Moines, Iowa are looking forward to CT in 2010. Have a fantastic time at Jinty's tonight and please accept my best wishes in the new year for you, Carrie, Sarah, and all those you love.

Thanks for taking a moment to
Thanks for taking a moment to blog, George! Happy New Year to you, Carrie and Sarah. Yes, the children do grow up too fast. My own daughter Emily (you met her in St. Louis) will be 8 in February. 8 going on 18, I think sometimes
Was so great to see you at 8 shows (counting the 2 Toronto shows), 3 Meet and Greets, 2 PBS pledge drives and 1 Toronto hotel bar this year!! LOL
Wow....that's got to be some sort of record!
Looking forward to another year filled with Celtic Thunder fun!!
Kelly
Thank you, Ryan, for everything!!
Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.
^_^
Happy New Years to you too George! 'hogmanay' and 'ne'rday'? okay, is today 'let's wish people the new year in a different language day'? *applauds you as well*
Have fun performing tonight!! I wish I could be there too - someday I really do plan on seeing you perform at Jinty's! It just sounds like too much fun to pass up!!
Tell Carrie and Sarah Happy New Year, and a belated birthday wish for Sarah! I feel guilty about missing it!
Love,
Tangy
I'll answer to Tangy.

Happy New Year to you and yours Mr Donaldson
I bet you are gonna be one of those dads who will strike fear in the hearts of every young man who comes to call and Princess Sarah
Much as I hate to say it 2009 was a dark ride-CT or course being the exception-so here's hoping 2010 is better and less angst filled.
I know you will knock then dead at your gig even if you have to shout your songs above the noise of the party goers
Hope to see you in the fall if not sooner.

Happy New Year, George, Carrie and Sarah! ♥
