Of all the endearing, annoying and just plain weird holidays we celebrate, St. Patrick's day is the worst. Why? I'm glad you asked, me. Because it celebrates being Irish. What's so wrong about that? Nothing, per se, but why is it the only one? There are no holidays for Russians, Spaniards, Frenchman, Britons, or Icelandians, that are celebrated in America. Only St. Patty's. Why? I assume because they're "quirky" or "funny" or "unique" but that hardly seems like a good excuse to force everyone into wearing green! It's just ridiculous. Get over yourselves! Not everything said in an Irish accent is funny! Leprechauns are overrated! And alcoholism is more prevalent in your nation than anywhere else in the world! AUGH!
*Disclaimer, I have nothing against Irish people and this is just a rant I felt like doing. No ill will towards anyone.

You forgot about Cinco De Mayo for the Mexicans and Mardi Gras was originally for the creole or French. That noted, you forgot to mention the idiocy of pinching people who aren't wearing green.
