I don't see it as a top 10 in EITHER category. It's more of a "who cares" day. I'm more excited about it being a Saturday than I am about it being St. Pat's Day.

For our family it is a heritage day. We will read Irish stories, listen to Celtic music and eat corned beef, cabbage and potatoes with family and our Irish friends. The green beer thing is a money maker. If you want a good beer, try a Killian's for St. Patrick's day.

Take a look at some photographs of Ireland, a beautiful country with friendly people. Enjoy the spirit of St. Patrick's Day and visit Ireland as soon as you can.

Mostly for Money. Just like Valentine's Day.
SPD was originally a religious holiday to honor a guy named Patrick who introduced Christianity into Ireland.

A heritage day. People will always try to make money off of any event, day, holiday etc.

Both. I personally just spend time with family eating corned beef and cabbage on that day. I don´t go out to bars or anything.
