Why we don't celebrate St. Patrick's day

This week at work while I was enjoying a cup of coffee, a co-worker playfully chided me for not wearing green on St. Patrick's Day. In trying to be nice, I said it totally slipped my mind. He says, well it is hard to slip my mind since I am Irish. Precisely. You are Irish and I am not. Bill Cosby would have you believe European Americans do not connect with their heritage, so we should not connect with hours. Wrong! Even if they did not why are trying to emulate white people. We need to do what we do for our own reasons and not to follow someone else's standard. Today we talk about holidays!
