am i the only one

that doesnt celebrate st. patricks day?!

i would rather stab my eyes out with a rusty nail then to step ONE FOOT in any bar on that day... ESP the nutty irishman!!

i am not the least bit irish.... i never celebrated st patricks day and i think i may be the only one

I don't either

I don't. I'm not Irish. I drink beer any day of the week!

YES YOU ARE

Well I am half irish...DH is Irish AND from Rockaway so I celebrate TWICE once for Rockaway's parade which is saturday and then my mom makes corn beef and cabbage (my dad is Irish but my Italian mother makes a mean cornbeef)

Its just an excuse to drink early in the day in comfy clothes IMO

I'm part Irish but I don't really celebrate all that much (I should be going to the Rockaway Irish day parade Saturday) but i'm going to hang with the LIW O8'ers at Kim's pampered chef party instead (Mom was slightly disturbed, but she's reasonable, she'll be fine).
I must say I would definitely rather celebrate St. Patricks day than poke my eye out with a rusty nail though.

my birthday is the day AFTER st. patty's...i hate it because everyone always goes out on st.patty's and although sometimes fun, to me personally its overrated.. and then noone wants to do anything on my birthday

i dont

this year i will be on a cruise so i wonder if they will do anything special
we will see

us Mulligans do not celebrate either

somehow DH ended up with this freaking last name - and he is ITALIAN - like has family in italy, they speak italian, they cook real italian foods (not like pizzeria food i mean REAL italian food) its so bizarre to me it almost annoys me that he has such an irish last name b/c i feel like its like living a lie His Grandpa's Dad was part Irish or something like that so the name kept getting passed down through the boys - but his immediate family (b/c his Mom is actually from italy) is very italian/european....and guess what i still didn't change my name so im not officially a Mulligan yet hahahaha

I have a similar problem...my dad is Irish but I look 100% Italian so people were always by my lastname...now I have DH's REALLY Irish name but at least it's my married name so it make sense
