I'm not Irish, but kiss me anyway!

Happy St. Patrick Day my peeps! I bet you guys didn't realize you're my peeps, too. *grins* I have declared it thus, and so you are. What do you think about that?!

Having been to London and Ireland, I have to say, that St. Patrick's Day is another one of those strangely American holidays that has nothing to do with anything anywhere else in the world despite the fact that it's considered an Irish holiday. It really isn't. It's mostly an American thing. An excuse to drink because Puritanical folks that we be, we can't just enjoy a pint without recrimination.

America, why can't we just get drunk? I ask you!

No matter, we're a-celebratin'.

I hope you all enjoy your day, pinch lots of non-green bottoms and enjoy a shot of Bailey's with your pint of Guinness. Kiss lots of boys (and girls) and bust a move out there on the dance floor.

Don't let me hear that you didn't have fun. Got it? Good.

My first gen Irish American dad's family celebrated SPD like mad, with the drinking and fighting and weeping and loud faux-Irish music, so this? Me avoidy. (My family's SPD parties were precursors to Riverdance. Semi-toothless, bloody, off-key precursors, but they had the stomping down to a fine science.)
