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

---

everyone always thinks DH's last name is greek... they are always when they hear its Lithuanian

I dont. Im pretty much the only one of out of my friends that doesnt go. They try to get me to go every year.
I used to put Im getting pretty boring in my old age I just find it to be more annoying then fun

Nope, you're not alone. And I hate it when people say everyone is irish on st. patty's day. I'm not irish on any day. I don't even go to the puerto rican day parade!

We celebrate St. Patrick's Day.

Both of my DH's parents were born in Ireland.

His Mom makes corned beef and cabbage.

I celebrate by eating irish soda bread as soon as it somes out in the supermarket and I'll wear green that day if I own anything green at the time.

We dont do corned beef and cabage.

lol. I've never celebrated either, but that's only because I'm not Irish and I'm not a big drinker either. So there's no point. I used to do fun stuff with my class at the preschool though and that was cool. But I never went out and got crazy.

I always wanted to be Irish though, I'm not sure why. So I'm really happy that I am now officially Irish through marriage. lol. DH doesn't ever celebrate St Pattys though either, so oh well. No biggie

sometimes I do and sometimes I dont. When I have it has been alot of fun. I dont think I did anything last year though and the year before I bought my wedding dress on St. Patricks day, so oh wow it was a lucky day

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 never used to celebrate bc im not irish but the hubbs plays the bagpipes so i usually meet up with him after the parade
We are going to the parade in the rockaways this weekend too
