i don't really get st. patricks day...just seems like an excuse to drink...but then again...what holidays are ReALLY considered holidays anymore....flag day, presidents day, mother's & father's day (not that they don't deserve it), valentines day, martin luther king (no offense but there are people who have accomplished more who don't have their own day) and then some...just so many ridiculous holidays that just seem to be excuses to get off school and such...
