St. Patrick's Day

Did you realize if you are half Irish, like I am, you don't have to wear Green on St. Patrick's Day? At work, we always went out of our way to decorate the office and wear as much green as possible. It is a lot of fun. They always say if you don't wear green, they get to pinch you. Nobody wanted to be pinched so everyone tried their best to remember to wear green. My old relatives came from Tipperary, Ireland and they say they still have an old castle over there. One of my nieces says she went and looked it up and it was in quite bad shape, of course, but I think it would be fun to go there and see it.
