Did you know the first St. Patrick's Day parade was held back in 1737 in Boston? And blue, not green, was the color of the day.
For more fun facts, go here.
If you want to celebrate with music with the Pogues or Dropkick Murphys, go here. Or try this St Patrick's Day music playlist. Or have some corned beef and cabbage pizza. Find some ways to celebrate at home. And I love this post about how to celebrate the holiday with kids, including making infamous leprechaun traps.
And don't forget the Irish dancers!
Happy St. Patrick's Day!

It's sad that his memory is sullied with the wanton insobriety associated with the day. I once heard a media commentator refer to the parades as drunken jihads. Not too far wrong there I'm afraid. I can only dread the vomit laden paths tomorrow as I walk to work. 40 shades of green indeed.
Have a blessed day in Christ's love.
