I probably posted this a bit late. I shoulda posted it earlier so ya'll coulda shared them....tomorrow? It's tomorrow, right? Whatever, here we go!


-St. Patrick was actually of Scottish descent, not Irish, and contrary to popular folklore he never chased any snakes out of Ireland.
-Green is associated with St. Patrick's Day because it is the color of Spring.
-The city with the largest population of Americans of Irish descent is Boston (23%).
-It is considered lucky to find a four leaf clover on St. Patrick's Day.
-At one time, there were more Irish living in New York City, than in Dublin, Ireland. (How does that work??)
-Corned beef is strictly an American invention, the Irish don't actually eat it to celebrate the day.
-Leprechauns are the official shoe makers of the fairy kingdom. (Ha)
-Over 8 million St. Patrick's Day cards are exchanged in America making today the ninth-largest card selling occasion in the US. (People give cards on St. Patrick's Day??)
-Over 94 million people plan to wear green on St. Patrick's Day.

I want to learn that kind of dance! I'm only an eight Irish and I didn't wear green, so my mum kept pinching me all day because when I changed, I still didn't have green on. I didn't think alot of poeple gave out cards until my mum made some the other day. She likes making lots of cards and scrap book pages.

It's almost St. Patricks day again.... So... I posted here!

*Reads Facts* Cool...
