It just so happens that these Chic Chix are of Irish heritage, and like all good Americans, a few other origins thrown in here and there. I had always celebrated this day by wearing green, then as I got older, drinking green beer and other (non) traditional ways, but here in France it's not too popular unless you're actually in the City of Lights or in Brittany. Maybe I need to move there, I could express my wild Irish side on the beach....like in the good ole' days in California. Until then, I'll pass this tradition on to my kids (5 different origins, 2 nationalities, OMGoddess, what have we created?) and have a spot of Irish Whiskey (with an "e") this evening. I would close with an Irish saying, but I don't have one handy. So I'll just add, unless you're wearing green, Watch Out For Pinchers!

Happy St Patricks Day to you and be careful about pinching the French ;~D
