St Patrick’s Day as a major Irish holiday is an American invention. They have parades and festivals in Ireland now, but those traditions were imported mainly for tourists
- I am irish, and its very major here anyway.
  
  No, don't you see? This person knows better than your lived experience. /s

Of course it is, they're out enjoying the holiday

Everyone is out drinking and hopefully having a good time. Let them disconnect for a bit and be social.
- Indeed.
  Difficult to thumb type when both hands are holding a pint.
  
  Use T9. lol

Wasn’t it yesterday there already? I still find the international dateline confusing 🫤
- no idea where in the world you are but you posted this at a time when it was slightly past 5 pm on St. Patrick's Day (2025-03-17) in the Irish time zone, so no
  
  I was momentarily so certain! 😌
- Its the 17th of march here in Ireland:
  
  Thanks. I’ve suspected my only Irish friend has been messing with me for the last 20 years. This was the proof I needed ;-)

Still on depression for losing the 6 Nations

Lá fhéile Pádraig sona dhuit!
