St. Patrick's day is just a stop along the way of the modern American tradition of celebration. Ok, we start with New Year's Eve, have a party, and look down the road of an endless winter. Along comes Mardi Gras and Lent and on Shrove Tuesday we indulge on Polish Paczki,as is the custom in the Midwest.
Then about half way through Lent, in mid March, we want to have some more fun, ergo, St Patrick's day. This year we can have all the fun we want, if you are Catholic, because we can eat Corned Beef on Friday during Lent because the Arch Bishop in my Diocese said it was OK.
Next stop on the Fun Meter is "Cinco de Mayo". Let's just Celebrate having Fun.

The Easter Bunny will be bringing the fun chocolate eggs before that.
