Where IS the love for St. Patrick's Day? No really - I want to know!
Go into any store the day after Valentine's Day and see what they are putting up. Is it St. Patrick's Day stuff? Nope. It's Easter stuff. Now I have nothing against Easter, believe me. But, um...didn't ya miss one?
Just think about it for a minute. It's really a great holiday. It's a happy day. There's nothing to spend a bunch of money on...no one is disappointed because they didn't get the right thing or their man wasn't thoughtful enough. No one counts up how much money is spent on each other. No getting candy when you expected diamonds.
Just throw on some green before you walk out the door and smile. Maybe even put on a "Kiss Me, I'm Irish" button and if you're feeling really in the spirit, throw back a couple of green beers with your buddies.
I don't get it!
Wait.
It's not commercialized! There really isn't much to buy. Think that's why the retailers ignore it?
