St. Patrick's Day

Fun Fact Friday, St. Patrick's Day edition! On this day in the year 461, St. Patrick died in Saul. Ireland celebrates this day in his honor. Share with us a story of St. Patrick's Day shenanigans you've gotten into in the past...or, if you prefer, share with us some of the traditions you take part in on March 17th.

I absolutely love shenanigans! I even bought myself a T-shirt bragging about it, cause hey, I'm Irish and I couldn't help myself. But alas, I don't do much in terms of celebrating my Irish roots. I wear green, that's pretty much it. I did buy a new shirt for the occasion this year.

St. Patrick's Day always reminds me of my Grandfather, who everyone called Irish. He wore that nickname proudly, and boy could he drink! He was always a hilarious drunk, and on days like today I miss him terribly. I'm sure he's up in heaven looking down and getting his drink on.

Happy St. Patrick's Day to you all. Whether you're Irish or not, it's really just about being with friends and having a good time. I think we could all use more of that on a regularly basis.

On a side note. Happy Shareday to my BFF.
