Ok no offense to you actual Irish ethnicity folks here but I have never understood why has SPD always been such a big deal in this country? I can understand July 4th,New Years Day, Christmas but really what is the big freaking deal about this day? Just an excuse to party and one big drunk?

I was reading the history yesterday and some historians said that:

"ST. JOHNS COUNTY, Fla. – The first St. Patrick’s Day parade in the world was held in St. Augustine 422 years ago today.

The first recorded parade honoring the Catholic feast day of St. Patrick in the New World was held in St. Augustine."

And may be the reason why it has a big impact in the US.
