Thread Name: BS: Being Irish on St. Patrick's Day
Subject: RE: BS: Being Irish on St. Patrick's Day
I feel little connection with the various days set aside to celebrate things of this nature. That includes Christmas, New Years, St Patrick's Day, Queen Victoria's Day, Canada Day, Halloween, Easter, my Birthday, etc. I don't mind that others seem to enjoy these things, but I have found that it just ain't for me. I do however wish others things like Happy St Patrick's Day or Happy Birthday or Merry Christmas, etc, because it means something to them.

As to wearing green--if I do it's usually by accident because I also seldom know when these days fall during the week. I could never be arsed to remember when Holloween is, or most other days. It's all I can do to remember Monday thru Sunday and where I am in THAT. For example, it is by happenstance that I'm aware today is Thursday.

Parenthetically, I understood that St Patrick's Day was supposed to be a happy occasion. I guess I understood wrong.

Thanks for the grin, Fionn. Happy St Patrick's Day to you and most others here.
