I love St. Patrick's Day and I don't even know what it is really about. Surely its origin has nothing to do with rainbows, pots of gold, or little green men. All I know is that it makes me glad!
Hmmm...now I have to know the stories behind the shamrock. Who was St. Patrick?
Remember Darby O' Gill and the Little People? My family watched it every year when I was a kid.
I hope everyone has some big food and fun planned. To me, the perfect St. Patrick's Day is a big Irish feast and some poker, while listening to my grandma's Irish Pub songs CD. And that is exactly what I will be doing. LUCK!
I have posted one of my favorite recipes for St. Patrick's Day here.
Wishing you all a lucky, glad, rainbow day!
And I found the answer to my question. Want to know why Easter is in March this year? click here.

It's interesting because this year St. Patrick's Day actually fell during Holy Week. I guess it caused a lot of conflict with Irish Catholics, since you aren't suppose to have celebrations and parades during Holy Week. Irish Bishops actually moved St. Patrick's Day to the 15th this year. You can read about it here
Even though I'm not Irish Catholic, I too was a bit annoyed. I love both holidays but felt like they were too close to really be enjoyed individually. But it doesn't look like it will happen again in my lifetime so I guess I can get over it.
Interesting all around. I was wondering about all of those questions. And very cool extra info from Stacy.
