​​Happy Saint Patrick's Day! This day commemorates the death of Saint Patrick, Ireland's patron saint, and is celebrated on March 17th. The holiday is observed in many countries with parades [pə'reɪdz], green decorations, and festivities. Wearing green is a popular tradition, as is drinking beer, especially Irish stout like Guinness['gɪnɪs]. Shamrocks are also common decorations, and eating shamrock-shaped cookies is a fun way to celebrate. To celebrate like a true Irishman, start with a hearty breakfast, watch a parade, and head to a local pub for live music and dancing. Remember to pace yourself when drinking and have a good time celebrating Irish culture and heritage. Cheers to Saint Patrick's Day!
