When Irish Eyes are Smiling.....

I love St. Patrick's Day... There are many, many reasons, but here are my top 3.

1)  I am an Irish Citizen.
How you may ask?  I thought you were Canadian?  I was born in Canada - first generation Canadian.  Me ma (Irish slang for Mother) was born in Dublin Ireland, and Immigrated to Canada when she was a wee lass.  Making me eligible for Irish Citizenship....

       

And I use this as my identification on St. Patrick's Day.  Shockingly (is that a word?) it doesn't appear to phase many bouncers.              
   

2) Guinness, Irish Carbombs...... drink and be Merry.
Oh yes - Green Beer and Irish Carbombs are the staples of St. Paddy's Day....  At first the thought of Irish Cream and Guinness creeped me out, especially after seeing the curdled nastiness in the bottom of the Carbomb glass.  But after the first taste of the creamy-goodness I was sold!

3) Everyone is Irish on St. Paddy's Day
This is actually a fact.  St. Paddy's Day is among the best for making new "friends" as being Irish = being drunk and loving everyone.

OK - Well maybe not loving "everyone".
