Saint Patrick's Day

Today, is St. “Paddy’s” Day you guys.  St. Paddy Day is a nickname that comes from St. Patrick’s Day.  St. Paddy’s Day is a western holiday that is always celebrated on March 17.  St. Patrick was the patron saint of Ireland and he passed on March 17, so we dedicate this event to him.  Most people come out and decorate floats to exhibit at various parades.  They also throw different green items for everyone to wear and put on.  Many people come out to these parades to celebrate St. Paddy’s Day.

When I woke up today, I was ecstatic.  I couldn’t wait to brush my teeth, and put some green clothes on with anything else I had that was green.  My family and I went to 2 parades and enjoyed every minute of them.  There were different floats with creative green designs.  I collected a lot of green stuff, but my youngest sister snatched them from me because they didn’t have as much.  I also got a chance to watch a couple of NCAA March Madness games.  I feel kind of bad for the guys who have to play on St. Paddy’s Day because they don’t get the opportunity to go out with their families and go to the parades.  Especially, if they lost and got put out of the tournament.  Any ways, I noticed many college basketball teams had their sponsorships from the various shoe companies send them yellow, and green attire.  Some of the coaches, and players wore green and yellow shoes.  I also thought that the green Baylor jerseys were cool as well. It was a really fun day for me, and I can’t wait for it to come around next year.
