Interesting how quite a few of us base the holiday off pay or not having to work.
Why the hate for Patty's day though?

Most of those holidays have little to do with the original reasons that they became holidays the way people observe them.

I get that but that's why I capitalize upon the positivity of the holiday and what I enjoy about them.
Like today, I'm not Irish. In fact, I'm English which is kinda their rival. I'm making corned beef patties though and wearing green and adding colors to my nails. There's not much depth to what I do, but it gives me something to look forward to every year.

I'll do something similar for Easter with food and my nails but I'm so far from being Christian or Catholic, nor have I done anything related to lent at this point.

holidays are what i make of it, especially if it doesn't hurt anybody.
