I don't get St. Patty's Day

There are a few holidays I have no appreciation for whatsoever.

First: Halloween. Hate it as an adult. LOVED it as a kid. My sister and I would leave the house as early as we were allowed to with costumes on and a pillow case to hold all the candy. I have loved candy forever so the competition factor w/ my sister coupled with the sugar buzz I was assured of enjoying through Christmas motivated me well into my late teens. But for some reason I hate dressing up and have since I can remember so I will turn down any Halloween party I'm invited to. I'm usually a lot of fun, I swear.

Second most hated holiday: Valentines Day. It's a day shoved at you whether you are in love, with no one, or worst of all: in love but separated for whatever reason. Annoying as hell.

Third: New Years Eve. Amateur night. Rarely ends up like anyone wants it to. This past one spent in Milan with my old boyfriend was probably the best and I can count on one hand the number of others in my 48 years on this planet.

Fourth: today, St. Patty's Day. I just don't get it. I love the Irish - they know how to party, that's for sure. But why is everything green? And if you don't go out that night you're considered no fun.

That's all the holidays I'll take down for now. I'm sure I'll have more later... I always do!
