IN MANY PLACES around the world, it is a tradition to go for a swim in freezing water on New Year’s Day.
Don’t ask us why, but it seems to make people very, very happy.
Pics: Incredibly happy people going for a freezing swim
So cold. So happy.
Happy because of his awesome hat
Happy because they're French and drinking champagne
Happy because she is who she is
Happy because he's the champion of gold pork-pie hats
Happy because he's got away with that ladder
Happy because of their animal hats
Happy because their wigs are the biggest
Happy because they're dressed as medieval knights
Quietly happy
Happy on the inside, hopefully

Hi Ian, I’m afraid the photography agencies we use didn’t cover the Bray swim – it wasn’t because we’ve anything against Bray, honest. If you have photos yourself feel free to submit them! You can send them to me at michael@thejournal.ie.
