I am not Irish, as far as I know, but I think it can be fun for anyone who chooses to celebrate in one way or another. Also, I don't think I've ever heard an Irish person say that others shouldn't celebrate, so I assume it's okay with most of them when others want to join in the events of the day.

I don't celebrate, but sometimes I will find St. Patrick's Day jokes online and send them to an elderly friend of mine. She plays cards with an Irish friend of hers, and they enjoy a laugh or two when I send something funny for their enjoyment.

Now if only I could dance like this:

Fun!

I doubt it. I think alot of the Irish don't know why they celebrate ST. Patties Day. It has become just an excuse for a party. If you like corn beef and cabbage and lamb stew your Irish for the day.

You don't have to be no. The actual meaning behind saint patrick's day did always make me laugh though.. the Irish are celebrating the death of a man who supposedly drove the heathen faith from the island. He destroyed true irish culture. I enjoy celebrating his death with too much booze and a big bowl of corned beef. I'm actually scotch irish norwegian though...those vikings.. they made quite the melting pot.
