A wonderful reason to get completely shitfaced before noon, then take a nap, and do it again that evening. Celebrated heavily from the midwest to east coast by everyone, not just exclusively Irish folks. In the Chicagoland are, Saint Patricks Day is nearly a weeklong celebration of booze and parades.
an excuse for tiny, ginger irish men to be noticed, as they never are because they are so small they sometimes get stepped on. this is disguised as a holiday in which teachers mess up their classrooms and lie to children.
