The celebration of St. Patrick's Day on March 17th is associated with fun parades and all things green! It has been a religious feast in Ireland for more than a millennium. It was traditionally commemorated with religious feasts and ceremonies in honor of St. Patrick’s Death in 461. The tradition later transformed into a secular celebration of Irish culture after immigrants moved to the United States. Now, this holiday is widely celebrated in Canada, Australia, and throughout the United States.

~ Dr. Seuss (from How the Grinch Stole Christmas)

You have tinsel sparkling and carolers singing. You might catch the aforementioned Dr. Seuss Christmas special on TV or maybe go old school with the classic It’s a Wonderful Life. There’s the anticipation of the big day, and of course, there’s the wonderful smorgasbord of holiday goodies to munch on, made even more special by the fact that you only get to enjoy them for a short time.
