So what do you do on St Patty's Day?

I always thought it to be funny that there is a day to give us all, Irish or not, to drink the night away (who needs an excuse anyway). So I thought today I would read the true meaning of St Patrick's Day via Wikepedia in hopes to shed some light of why we really should celebrate this day.... well....

"Saint Patrick's Day (Irish: Lá Fhéile Pádraig) is a yearly holiday celebrated on 17 March. It is named after Saint Patrick (circa AD 387–461), the most commonly recognized of the patron saints of Ireland. It began as a purely Catholic holiday and became an official feast day in the early 1600s. However, it has gradually become more of a secular celebration of Ireland's culture." "It is believed that Saint Patrick's Day has been celebrated in Ireland since before the 1600s. It was also believed to have served as a one-day break during Lent..." ~ Wikepdia

So after reading about St. Patrick's Day it really is religious day to drink in honor of Saint Patrick and the Irish culture! So there is your excuse- drink up but please do not drive!!!!

My daughter seems to be excited for the day, a day of illusion and mystery to find a leprechaun and a pot of gold!

So my plan for today is to enjoy my cup of coffee in my green Starbucks mug, dress my daughter in a super green outfit so she can hunt for the leprechaun at school, sneak a sip of Daddy's Guinness and of course walk my dogs Guinness and Bass.

After the lil one goes down to sleep, drink copious amount of wine just for the excuse that I am Irish and must celebrate in honor of St Patrick! Just kidding... well just a little!

Cheers!
