I'm not Irish at all, but we're probably celebrating tonight and tomorrow.
The 'almost' BF's company is co-sponsoring the big block party downtown so I'll probably head down to that. It should be a good time.

People don't celebrate St. Patrick's here! In fact, on friday, I was doing activities with my students for St. Paddy's and only 2 out of 65 students had ever heard of it!!!!
So i'll be wearing green tomorrow, but as for the drinking...i don't think so....don't know if the bars in this little town are even open Monday nights!!!

That's probably because you live in Quebec. I'm pretty sure they're not too fond of the Irish, probably equating them with the English. Which of course and Irishman (or woman) will tell you is wrong.
Anyway, Happy St. Patricks day, this mix of multiple ethnic backgrounds will be celebrating.
P.S you can kiss me because I'm Irish

Hey, I was on a conversion kick but I don't have time right now to take the classes. . .
I went to Temple on Saturday though because of Purim. . .

Happy St. Patrick's Day, everyone! I married into a wonderful Irish family and I'm proud to be wearing my claddaghs.
Off topic, but St. Patrick's Day has never been crazy around our home--all of my husband's family gets together for a big dinner and drinks instead. My in-laws (both born in Ireland) keep telling us that it is a holy day. Most people in Ireland go to church! All the hoopla around St. Patrick's Day is a mostly American invention--as is corned beef and cabbage (which I was very sad to discover!).
All that having been said, I will still be enjoying my Guinness after work today!

I have marched in the St. Patrick's Day Parade in NYC on Fifth Ave. Not this year. In the past, I marched with the First Lady at the time now Senator Hillary Clinton. The crowd booed.  This year I will attend a black tie St. Patrick's Day event in a posh hotel with some Irish and Irish American VIPS. I am looking for a green dress.
Here are the Irish last names in my family tree: Ryan, Kennedy, Tobin, Sullivan, Fitzgerald, and Malone.

I'm going down to a local bar for a beer - I have too much work and not enough money to really go out tonight.
St. Patrick's day is HUGE in Boston...guess I'll just have to partake next year.
