When are you celebrating St. Patrick's Day?

[PittPoliSci]

Just seeing when everyone is going to be doing their thing for my favorite holiday (in March). It's going to be a week long celebration of alcohol and music for me.

1. It is my fortune/misfortune

that St Patrick's Day is also my birthday......

I am doomed to celebrate it on the actual day.....

and yes, yes I am quite sick of green beer......

[PittPoliSci]

3. i don't like green beer either.

i really like all the actual irish beer though, mmm...Kilkenny Cream...

5. You have a great saint's day for your birthday!

I have John the Baptist, a heavy hitter but no parties at all. . . I guess because no ones wants to have a party with belly dancers and beheadings.

Go figure. :shrug:

P.S. I hear they think green beer is a crazy idea in Ireland. I don't drink it green, even though I'm 1/4 Irish. I do wear green and I'm looking forward to going to a party and drinking beer. :party:

4. Actually, listening to Altan just now if that counts. Corned beef dinner

planned for the 17th in the great American tradition.

(Mind you my dad's family is Orange Irish, but my mother's side is Russian Catholic, so I just wear green with a bit of orange and white and figure I am covered.)

6. i'm orange.

Orange by religion, but by region I'm green. I'm listening to the Dubliners right now in preparation.

9. As luck has it

I will have just left London and will be in Paris on St. Paddy's day. Really doubt that they celebrate it there, but since I will be with a travel group comprised of Americans, I bet at least some of us will be wearing green. P.S. Thanks for the reminder, I will pack an appropriate green top to wear that day.

10. St. Patrick's Day is a holiday for everyone!

Have fun in Paris!

11. I don't celebrate 'cause of the religion thing

Celebrating being Irish is ok with me, but not celebrating a saint who helped rid a country of "paganism" which is my understanding of what he did. Asbestos undies on, flame away or enlighten me if this information is wrong, if you want.

13. If you don't celebrate any holidays with religious connotations

what holidays do you celebrate?

[uppityperson]

14. I do celebrate some religious connotationed holidays

I just have a bug in my ear (I hesitate to mention bee in my bonnet) about StPaddy's because of his imposing his outside religion on people with their own religion. Goes along with the reason I don't celebrate Colombus Day is because, even though he didn't make it to N.America, I won't celebrate the European invasion of the new world. I hate evangelicalisingmentness.

15. He didn't impose anything.

One man is not an imposition. He was an evangelist, true. But he did little more than wander up and down Ireland preaching. He didn't force anybody to convert--he just gave them a new choice, and they went with his version of things.
