St. Patrick's Day Traditions

[Nighthawk]

Well, nothing so ritualize as yours, but we used to go to Bennigan's for corned beef and cabbage. I am usually in the parade here on the Saturday receeding St Pat's Day. My group has a rather large feast at one home or another, and we dine on Virgi's fantastic Guinness soaked corned beef. We are a Scottish clan, so there is no shortage of single malt... That's about it really!

St. Patrick's Day has become more of a family celebration in recent years.

Yes, I did have many years where I would go from bar to bar trying to set records for consumption of Guinness and Bushmills. (Ahhh the memories - only half of which I can remember!)

Now we celebrate at the In-laws! My mother-in-law, Patricia, was born in Dublin on St. Patty's day so we celebrate her birthday. The corned beef & cabbage (New England Boiled Dinner) washed down with just a Guinness or two.
