st. patrick's day

St. Patrick’s Day is a day to celebrate….wait, what are we celebrating?  I just know there’s beer involved.  I’m not a big beer fan, so I thought I’d share with you some delicious St. Patrick’s Day drink recipes for those of us who aren’t the biggest beer drinkers (Or if you just want to change it up)!

The Irish car bomb (a shot of Irish whiskey and Irish cream dropped into a pint of Guinness) is a standard St. Patrick's Day cocktail, though its origins aren't commonly known.

  Saint Patrick's Day, also known as Feast of Saint Patrick, was officially established in Ireland in the 17th century as a day of feast.  The holiday eventually made its way across the ocean to be celebrated in the U.S.  Wearing green, eating corned beef and cabbage, and of course drinking alcohol is the standard way for Americans to celebrate this holiday.  However, many folks skip the feasting

One Direction stopped by a radio interview and acoustic performance on St. Patrick’s Day (March 17), which isn’t that unusual. However, it was even more adorable than usual, because the band got to play with puppies onstage!

Ever wonder how President Barack Obama or Kate Middleton let loose on St. Patrick’s Day? Well, for Obama, it’s a through glass of Guinness, while the Duchess of Cambridge enjoys Harvey’s Bristol Creme. Hey, presidents and royalty need to get their drink on too.

Cities like Chicago dye their rivers green to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. Dallas, however, isn’t trying to start their own green tradition, at least not intentionally. A waterway just outside of the Medical City Dallas Hospital started to fill with a mysterious green goo last Wednesday.

McDonald’s Shamrock Shake usually comes once a year around St. Patrick’s Day, but as the holiday passes, so does the elusive tasty beverage. Now you don’t have to be in March (or Irish) to enjoy one year round.

As we approach St. Patrick’s Day, it’s a good time to think about how luck affects our lives.

Everyone knows that St. Patrick’s Day is the one day out of the year when we’re all Irish. And, apparently that translates into wearing anything green and silly we can get our hands on and having as much to drink as we can carry at one time. But, there’s another strange tradition that has developed in celebration of this day. We can’t explain it. Are Irish people really that into unnaturally green

There are few holidays that create more excitement and festiveness than St. Patrick’s Day. All over the country, people crowd the local pub in green clothes where they guzzle a ton of green beer, only to puke it back out in a green mess and wake up the next day in a green haze.   Of course, just like the crazy uncle in your family who thinks he’s Santa Claus in July, some people can take a good th

St. Patrick’s Day is coming up fast, and you know what that means? You’ll soon be crawling through pubs, plumping up your beer belly and pinching everyone not wearing green. Even if you’ve already got your costume planned out, chances are your pooch is feeling left out.

Few icons from folklore and mythology have been branded and co-opted more than the leprechaun. Stories of their rare appearances and coveted pot of gold have permeated almost every aspect of popular culture. They have become so synonymous with Irish culture that the streets are filled with tall green hats and green coats every St. Patrick’s Day. Their history, however, is far different from the tr
