St. Pat's

Am I really the only person that's bothered by the fact that either no one is aware, or has simply chosen to ignore that today is not St. Patrick's Day ( Read more... )

Will you also call for a stop to naming that other strange hodgepodge of traditions 'Christmas'?

No, you're off topic: Christmas is always the same day. The Church moved St. Patrick's according to a well-defined set of rules, and either no one noticed or no one cared.

If they moved Christmas, then we could have this talk.

1) It's the church, their relevance to the world is somewhat suspect.

2) Christmas is just as much an arbitrary date, it's just been a bit longer since it was set.

3) Nobody cares, St. Patrick's day is a continent wide drinking day. As much complain about candy on easter or commercialism on Xmas.

(see? I DON'T call it Christmas... *grin*)

I am quite happy to ignore the Catholic Church, Catholic Saints in general and Holy week in specific!

Vb -The Roman Catholic church made me a heathen.

While alcohol might have to be saved till after I'm no longer living with an alcoholic, today there may be green baking after dinner.

(Once we buy a Hamster. 'Cause, you know. St.Patrick's day? Clearly, about owning small cute rodents. )

Didn't St. Patrick drive all the hamsters OUT of Ontario?

That was my answer to the radio's "So What are you doing to celebrate St.Patty's?"

"I'm gonig to wear orange and go looking for fights"

For all the non-irish ext_90167 March 17 2008, 15:43:55 UTC

maybe we can all take this opportunity to remember the good times our forefathers had being prejudiced against the irish. This year i'm celebrating not dating an irish girl and not having to go out and listen to celtic music and drink terrible beer.
