The big day is tomorrow, perfect a day version of ST. Paddy's Day, we can all have the free time to show up and see you wearin' the green, the shamrocks, the green suit, the little white pipes and your green socks or whatever it is that you do to celebrate. Just tell us where and when, so maybe we can meet up, I'll look for you I will be the one wearin' the green/.

I think I’ll be wearing green, having a green dinner with green jello, green koolaid, green mashed potatoes, green meatballs on green pasta! I still have to find some green Hostess Snowballs, those are the best way to celebrate St. Patrick’s day that I know of.
Here’s an Irish Blessing for you:
May the light always find you on a dreary day.
When you need to be home, may you find your way.
May you always have courage to take a chance
And never find frogs in your underpants.

Why the party relies upon fairly on the place the party is; In eire it became extra of a non secular experience, (like Ash Wednesday) celebrating missionaries St. Patrick being the optimal in eire having chased out each and every of the snakes (it rather is pagans) and bringing Christianity to the island. in recent times the government has capitalized on the attractiveness of the form in different international locations and ( to the dismay of many) has made it right into a pageant of the subculture, folklore, and history of eire. interior the US, immigrants ( who on the time weren't taken care of nicely BTW) wanted to particular some cohesion, some delight and somewhat nostalgia for the area of foundation, began celebrations. From the 1st St. Patrick's Parade in Boston in 1762 the attractiveness of the day has snowballed.

I am not Irish the other 364...I don't pretend to be Irish on March 17th.
Is it true that the real Irish (those in Ireland) don't even celebrate St. Patrick's Day? It is more an American holiday created to make the excuse to drink lots of beer and party.

Even though it's part of my heritage, I never really connected to the "partying" part--even tho' I lived in Boston for 12 yrs. !!
I like to have fun w/it though; plan to wear a gold shamrock pin and something green--mainly I've gotten into decorating the dash of my car and have great fun w/that on most Holidays !
I also hope to attend Mass as St.Patrick was a real person and a man of true faith.
I am not a big drinker either; plus--green rivers and green beer, great idea, but, makes me want to p. . .k.
Great Fun tho' to those who'll be partying !!
As for Trips: read about the one in California; yeah, CA. Goes on for 5-7 days and they have Celtic Games, like the Scottish Highland Games, but, sounded so different.
I'd like to see that !!

I think I'll wait until Sunday and go and see the parade in London. They had giant mechanical ostriches last year.
