Irish Day always falls on the 17th. People take days off a year in advance so they can drink or baby their hangover. Stacey works at a place called O'tooles. They have a huge party start at 9:00 until when ever you fall or someone drags you out....

Yep, it's the 17th. It's HUGE in Boston. It also happens to be "Evacuation Day"--the day the British left Boston. It's basically just an excuse to get St. Paddy's day off  |

Did you hear they are trying to make it an actual "holiday", at least I think. It might be a joke. St. Pat's day has parades, celebrations of all sort including churches, so they want everyone to have the day off. I think it is a plan to get more people party. Get the day off, what are you going to do with all the celebrating going on.
Boston has it right!!!!

St. Patrick's Day - The History
Saint Patrick was born around 385 AD in the United Kingdom. His real name is believed to be Maewyn Succat (he took on Patrick, or Patricus, after he became a priest). When he was 16, he was kidnapped by a group of Irish raiders and sold into slavery in Ireland. During his six-year captivity as a shepherd, he began to have religious visions and found strength in his faith. He finally escaped to France and became a priest - and later a bishop. When he was about 60 years old, Saint Patrick returned to Ireland to spread the Christian word. He used the shamrock, which resembles a three-leafed clover, as a metaphor to explain the Christian concept of God (Father, Son and Holy Spirit).
St. Patrick's Day - An Irish Holiday?
The first St. Patrick's Day parade didn't take place in Ireland, but actually in New York City on March 17, 1762. Now, over 100 US cities have St. Patrick's Day parades. New York should be called the Big Shamrock instead of the Big Apple because their parade usually puts the rest of them to shame.
St. Patrick's Day - Did U Know?
Green is associated with St. Patrick's Day because it is the color of spring, Ireland and the shamrock.
Leprechauns are also associated with St. Patrick's Day, although the only reason they are is because they're Irish. Leprechauns are usually mean little creatures - with the exception of the Lucky Charms guy.
People give Saint Patrick credit for chasing all the snakes out of Ireland. The truth is that snakes are not indigenous to Ireland.

Interesting, I love figuring out why we celebrate things. Not sure how I feel about this one.

Oh good tidbits of information there, I like to know why we celebrate holidays, some holidays I just dont identify with at all and some I do... I always wondered if it was a past life reason for that or not...
So you got your green on Krisit? hehe
