Celebrate St. Patrick's Day on March 17 with Fun Costumes

Have a Blast as You Celebrate This Wonderful Irish Holiday

Darrin Atkins
St. Patrick's Day is coming up soon and let's hope you get a little luck of the Irish on this great, fun and interesting holiday. Try to have a blast on St. Patrick's Day which is on Wednesday, March 17, 2010.

St. Patrick's Day is known by a lot of different names. According to Wikipedia, St. Patrick's Day is also referred to as, more formally, Saint Patrick's Day or, less formally, St. Paddy's Day. Of course it is a national holiday in Ireland.

Do you like getting pinched? If so, just forget to wear green on St. Patrick's Day and some good friend of acquaintance of yours is likely to pinch you as a friendly punishment for not wearing green, or maybe they will do it just because they want to pinch you anyway.

Just make sure that the pinching occurs outside of the workplace because you cannot be too careful these days. If you do get pinched, try to see if you can upgrade to a kiss or two.

For a real blast on Saint Patrick's Day, try to head on over to Chicago. You are in for a special treat because in Chicago they dye the Chicago River green to celebrate this great holiday. You can read more about this over at the csmonitor.com web page dedicated to this event.

If so, you can find many costumes and costume accessories to really make your Saint Patrick's Day quite memorable in 2010, maybe more so than any costume worn on Halloween.

    The chicago river is dyed green! Shocking. How do they remove the green or do they just wait for it to disappear into the environment?
