St. Patrick's Day 2008...

History, we are part of it...

 

Dublin, Jul 19, 2007 / 10:42 am (CNA).- Religions celebrations for St. Patrick's Day will come two days early in Ireland next  [this] year to avoid a conflict with Holy Week.

St. Patrick's Day is usually celebrated March 17, but Ireland's bishops have shifted the feast day, in honor of the national saint, to Saturday, March 15, reported The Associated Press...

 

What does this mean for us?  Well, I figure we can get shite faced on Saturday the 15 and Monday the 17.  We now have TWO St. Patrick's Days!  For this year only.  Not be seen again until 2160.

Celebrate Accordingly...

Oh my. Just this once? Lotus Batcat was born on the 17th, not the 15th. St. Patrick's Day will always be the 17th to me.

STL has long had a STP's day parade for the proles (ahem) on Saturday and then the real people (Ancient Order of the Hibernians) celebrate theirs on whatever day STP's falls. I'm the latter (not a member of the order, though).

I hate that the proles are increasingly attending (read "Carnivale-style) our STP's. Bastards. It was a family-day of fun and yes, drunkenness.

The more Irish parties the better.
