I love this day. We always celebrate. First we go to the parade, then we go to the local pub. And of course we have to listen to Irish music too.

We always celebrated St.Patrick's day :) Our daughter was actually born just after the parade on St.Patrick's day 2 yrs ago. We had the best view of the parade ever from the window of the pre-natal ward in the Rotunda hospital at the top of O'Connell Street lol

Well isn't that nice. Are you Irish? And have an Irish name? That would be need if your daughter was Irish and born on St. Pattys Day. Does not get any better than that.

Yes I'm Irish, she was born in Dublin :) Neither myself nor her have Irish names though, but my son does! Does that count? :)

I love St. Patrick's Day even if I don't always celebrate. I love all things Irish/Celtic, too. I try to make cornbeef and cabbage and listen to lots of Irish/Celtic music! And, I always wear green!

Well usually we just have dinner with corned beef and cabbage. My neice since she goes to school has to wear the green other wise the kids can be a pain, they still do the pinching if people don't wear green on St. Patricks day. If I go out I'll wear green but I like to wear green any way. We will listen to some Irish music we have but we don't have a lot of it in the house.

I'm of Irish descent and we usually celebrate St. Patrick's day. I try to wear a little something green and steer completely clear of all things orange. I'll probably have a Guiness (Not really, I don't like Guiness but I'll drink a Miller and pretend) and cook an Irish stew. I just got an incredible new recipe for Irish stew that I'm dying to try out.

I don't like Guiness either. My friend drinks it and I have tried it and it is just a little too thick. I prefer an ice cold Molson Ice. Send me that recipe if it comes out good. What is in it? I usually cook corned beef and cabbage. I am actually cooking that tonight.

Irish music is great. So is the dancing. Our celebration will be a little more meaningful this year because we visited Ireland last year. What a beautiful country! The scenery, the castles, the food, and especially the people. I would like to stay longer next time.

It is a rare year that I get to see the parades because I'm usually stuck marching with the school's float. This year I have the added bonus of helping make the float. We have a great turn out and it's a fun day out for the children.
