For many people St.Patricks day is full of symbolism like the shamrock or the color green. Some people spend the day in church learning about St.Patrick, but for others it is just a fun day to wear green and goof off. For my family and I St.Patricks day is the latter, although we do not have a party until April.
On April tenth we gather at my grandparents house, not for some random birthday, but to celebrate St.Patricks day. This is really late for a St.Patricks day party seeing as St.Patricks day is almost a month prior to April tenth, but my grandparents are in Florida all of March so this is the best time to have it. I remember when we were little we used to hide under the food table and spy on the other peopl at the party, they of course knew we were there but didn't say anything for fear of ruining our delicous game. The party is always the highlight of my spring break for many reasons, there is dancing and singing, and my uncle buys this really deisgustingly greasy pizza that's really good while my grandma makes amazing cake. So many people come, most of them I don't know though, because they're my grandma and grandpa's friends.
While St.Patricks day is hugely religous for some it is also full of fun and adventure for the majority of the people who celebrate it. Even when it is not St.Patricks Day people still enjoy the cheer and fun of the holiday. I personally don't really celebrate this magnanimous holiday on the actual date, but rather on April tenth.
