St. Patricks Day?

Question

So my cousins who live in Ireland say that St Patricks Day isn't really a holiday in Ireland.Well it is a holiday,but no one really wears green and runs around celebrating green things like people in America do. Is this true? I mean...im Irish,but i dont feel anymore irish on St Pattys Day.And i dont go drinking like an idiot and pretend to have an irish accent. My accent is 100% natural!People think i fake it for that day...Well...anyway.Do people in Ireland really celebrate it?

Answer 3

I don't see why they would. We celabrate Irish Heritage(I think) in America. So why would they have to celebrate it? They are already Irish so what will you do. Go around inIreland and say look I'm Irish. Also I think the Irish accent is really cool.

Answer 4

yeah every year we celebrate loads, everyone i know loves st patricks day its huge, i think your cousins are boring old shites.

Answer 5

O, yes it's a feast day my husband is Irish!

It's the biggest day of the year over there.

Answer 6

they do celebrate it but not like years ago

in our town we had marches with the scouts, cubs,brownies, girl guides, fire fighters , fancy dress parade,old people, young people, and many more.when eventually we this was finished we had stall open in a watergarden we could buy box games, teddies, focus was to have fun.it was a good day out.all that is finished.

it is a pity, the younger gengeration is not interested.

Answer 7
