I have been told that they don't celebrate St. Patrick's Day like we do and don't wear green--that it is not a big deal over there. Also, there is no pinching--that's an American tradition. Any Irish natives out there? Is this true?

Well...I grew up in Dublin Ireland and St. Paddy's day over there is out of control! It is so big! And everyone where head to toe green! Love me the Irish!

It depends on where you are at. My stepmother is from Ireland, and treats the holiday as a day to remember St. Patrick's journey to Ireland from England, where he baptised thousands. She doesn't approve of the drinking and dancing as a way to celebrate. (She is very fun, and is happy to drink and dance any other time).

In Ireland, St. Patricks day is a holy day. I.e., it's a religious holiday. Thus, pubs are closed. That's not to say that merrymaking doesn't occur, but it's not like here in the states. And in Ireland, Catholics tend to take it more seriously than Protestants.
