We start the day waking up to the leprechaun turning our house a little topsy turvey, because he is a joker then we find that he has left us bowls of Green Oatmeal and Shamrocks imprinted on our toast. We continue to find little pranks that the leprchaun has left oarund the house. Followed by a huge parade. Then later we dine on Cabbage and corbeaf. What else do you do?

We get up early and donne our Sunday best (but always in green). We attend mass at the local church and take Irish soda bread to our older relatives. Then its a brunch of bangers and mash at the local AOH (ancient order of hiberinians). After brunch we get ready for the big annual parade. The streets are lined by folks in green and of course a warm wool woven sweater.
Following the parade, there is an irish step dancing contest, and lots of cornbeef, cabbage, and potatos. Later in the night when the wee ones are off to bed, there is much drinking and toasting to another year and those we have lost since last year.

I always wake up the family by playing the Irish national anthem. We dress in green, go to Mass and then head out to participate on a float in the local Hibernian parade. After the parade its lots of Guiness and Harp plus corned beef and cabbage followed by Irish Coffee or Baileys.

The Irish do no longer innovations others turning out to be a member of in from what i will see - St Patricks is a celebratory day and one that is with regard to the family contributors.

Last year I made Irish lamb stew and soda bread instead of corned beef and cabbage. It was amazing.
There's shamrock candies and stickers at my house, and we all dress in green... but that's about it.

The day being an Americanization of a Catholic saint's day, and it being a celebration of the religious persecution of pagans in Ireland by the Catholic church, I do not see it as a day for any particular celebration
