Ignore your customary color scheme for one day and wear green on March 17, St. Patrick’s Day, if Irish traditions are important to you—or if it’s just for fun!
From green beer at bars and pubs to green tacos in Mexican restaurants, everyone puts on their Irish identity for St. Patrick’s Day. Would you ever drink beer that was green if it weren’t for this holiday? But in all the seriousness of our daily lives, it feels good to do something light and celebratory, especially when it is easy.
This year there is even more to celebrate as President Obama has declared March “Irish American Heritage Month,” recognizing the contributions that people coming from Ireland have made to our country, from the colonists in the early Colonial days to the late Sen. Edward Kennedy’s family in recent times.
