I don't really celebrate the day; in fact, I usually get out of town as quickly as possible after work in the evening on St. Patrick's day because it's insane with crowds of drunken people puking on the sides of the street. Ugh! LOL!!! My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

I made colcannon last night (mashed potatos with cabbage and leeks!) for our party at work today and Erin's daycare will be having a party too. They even trashed the classroom to make it look like a leprechaun was there last night!! They even painted little footprints on the desks!!! LOL!!! My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

I don't do the 'wear green' thing, but I will play Irish music (which I do allot in any case). I like to celebrate all the British holiday . My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

I have some Irish friends but no we don't celebrate it. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions
