I love the cheerfulness of your posts. It makes me envious of celebration that I will be missing this year --there is always next year. On the topic, however, I had a roommate (obviously many years ago) who refused to celebrate the holiday, instead "honoring Ostara, the Spring Equinox." She very proudly proclaimed that before the Church stole the day, it was a Pagan holiday celebrating nature's rebirth. My only response was, "yeah, but did they drink green beer?" Youth.
I think getting trashed for the onset of spring must go back eons! Purim is this week, too—a rare Jewish holiday when drinking is commanded —plus there's Mardi Gras, which is obviously Pagan. I mean, all the feathers?
Liz' father was Porim King when he was younger. Because of my Waspy background, when he shared this story I thought he said he was "Porn King," which sounded totally normal to me.
Too-Ra-Loo-Ra-Loo-Ral to you Miss Jessica. I no longer attend the celebration but marched in several of the parades. I do miss watching it from the paper's location on Bay St.
See you at the Tybee St. Patrick's Parade-we (the Mint Julep Queens) are marching. Hit me up on social media for the address if you want to join our crown and sashing pre-parade party and promenade! It's a fun (blue) group! Might make a fun photo opp and column : )
