Do you celebrate St. Patrick’s Day? 

Truthfully, it’s never been one of my favorite holidays. 

Given that my birthday is just a few days before, my birthday celebrations have often been looped in with St. Patrick’s Day weekend, and I have grown to resent it a little bit.

Or maybe a lot. 

I mean, the crowds are often intense. And there’s so much green beer. (Seriously, why does it have to be green?) 

And do I have to wear green? (It might be my favorite color, but I like choices. Don’t pinch me!)

St. Patrick’s Day can still be fun though. After all, this is pretty much a travel-inspired cocktail blog. 

And if parades and big festivals are your thing, I will not stop you from checking out the celebrations in Boston, Savannah or Chicago (or, hey, Ireland) on St. Paddy’s weekend. 

I bet it would actually be pretty fun! I’d do it once. Maybe.
