Saint Patrick’s Day falls on the same date every year, which is March 17th. The celebration of this day dates all the way back to 1762 where it was first celebrated in Boston. Every year I go to Buffalo with my family to watch the Saint Patrick’s Day parade. My family and I randomly started this tradition. I don’t know how my parents got the idea of going to Buffalo to celebrate and watch the Saint Patrick’s Day parade but I don’t mind it at all. It is fun to go to watch the Saint Patrick’s Day parade because everyone there just has a good time. It is fun to sit back and watch the parade, and the non-sober people celebrate because they go crazy. Last year I saw a guy passed out in a bush… it was kind of weird. Another reason why it’s fun is because people dress up in weird and random Irish clothing. It is also cool to see what this culture has to offer. This year I planned on running the Shamrock Run to celebrate Saint Patrick’s Day, but due to my knee surgery January 31st I was not cleared in time and able to run. On Saint Patrick’s Day my family and I go to an Irish Pub and we eat corned beef and hash. Yummy. I like that my family has a tradition planned for such events such as the Saint Patrick’s Day parade and going to an Irish Pub and ordering corn beef and hash. I like this tradition because I am with my family the whole day and we get to do stuff together. This is nice because everyone in my family is always busy and we barely have time to be together. With this said I cannot wait for Saint Patrick’s Day this year!
