OK, so why exactly am I sitting here wearing a green tie with shamrocks, and why do I have corned beef and cabbage waiting at home for dinner? While I can claim a tiny bit of Irish in me, I suppose my activities today have more to do with making today fun! I think every month should have a fun holiday where we can celebrate something. Legend has it that St. Patrick originally used the shamrock, a green three-leaved plant to explain the Holy Trinity to Irish Pagans. The March 17th celebration in his honor has been celebrated by the Irish since as early as the 9th century, though I don't think they were all drinking green beer.... As for me, I don't know if my wife has any Irish in her, but I will go kiss her anyway, and I will leave the green beer to my friends who choose to drink it. Happy St. Patrick's Day!
