Saint Patrick's Celebration Overview

Saint Patrick's Day is celebrated worldwide by those of Irish descent and increasingly by people of other ethnicities as well, notably in Argentina, Australia, New Zealand and North America. Celebrations are generally themed around all things Irish and, by association, the colour green. Both Christians and non-Christians celebrate the secular version of the holiday by wearing green, eating Irish food and/or green foods, imbibing Irish drink (such as Irish stout, especially Guinness, Irish Whiskey or Irish Cream) and attending parades, which have a particularly long history in the United States and in Canada.

Today, Saint Patrick's Day is widely celebrated in America by Irish and non-Irish alike. Many people, regardless of ethnic background, wear green-coloured clothing and items. Traditionally, those who are caught not wearing green are pinched, usually affectionately.

Will DEFINATELY have to wear green that day. That will be one excuse my husband can't use to pinch me!!

I'm sure he'll think of OTHER reasons...

According to him, he doesn't need a reason, he owns the title to me! Meaning our marriage license.

I think the German Blood took over my taste buds. cabbage

I think my Irish traits are fair skin and a slight red tint to my hair!

Corn Beef and Cabbage will always be part of our Irish Day -- I love the stuff. I do plan to try the Boiled Bacon and Cabbage, sounds so good.
