When March 17th rolls around, proud and patriotic people everywhere celebrate the lush land and interesting culture of Ireland – even if they’re not Irish. St. Patrick’s Day is like a license to disown your own country of birth to join in the party and pride of being Irish for a day. Apparently a lot of people kiss and get kissed in Ireland. Oh, and they like their drinks!
Grab a Guinness or an Irish Cream and settle on celebrating this year. But don’t stop there. Get into the spirit with fresh new ways of celebration.
Chicago turns the city’s river green for the occasion. Restaurants serve green drinks (love those mint milkshakes at McDonald’s) and other emerald inspired menu items. Why not bring that into your own house? Go truly green this year. Tint your hair, paint your car and dress the dog as a leprechaun. Leave the milk in your fridge out of the festivities – green dairy is generally pretty gross (except for that milkshake of course).
