[quote=Anonymous]We.... don't? I'm a quarter Irish and generally don't "celebrate" St. Patrick's day. When I was younger it was an excuse to go out drinking on a weekday and get drink specials. Now I'm old and it doesn't register unless my kid's school sends out a notice about wearing green. But the school generally doesn't do much either -- it's not a school with a big Irish or Catholic contingent so I don't think most people care. It is, at most, an excuse to drink a Guiness or wear a green t-shirt. I guess I do know some people with Irish backgrounds who view it as something of a way to celebrate heritage? But American-style St. Patrick's day is really only nominally about Ireland. If you want to want to celebrate Irish heritage, go take an Irish step dancing class or watch Derry Girls. Drinking green beer isn't it.[/quote]
