St. Patrick's Day Around the World
I'm loving the matching green ties President Obama and Irish Prime Minister Brian Cowen wore today during a shamrock ceremony at the White House. It seems a little strange to me that Irish leaders
come to America for St. Patrick's Day. Shouldn't it be the other way around?
Either way, it's obvious that St. Patrick's Day celebrations aren't confined to Ireland. For example, New York City held its 248th annual St. Patrick's Day parade today. Check out how the world celebrates the traditionally Irish holiday!

From what I've seen living abroad, that is because many countries, including Ireland, do not celebrate St Patrick's Day the way we do. In Germany, it is only growing b/c of the many American Armed Forces that live there. Even in Ireland, they are only growing more in spirit for the March 17th holiday b/c of tourism from many Americans traveling there. I think (in my humble, personal opinion) the best place to celebrate for St Patrick's Day is in America!!
It's also why I believe the Prime Minister of Ireland is in America for the holiday. Makes sense.
