I've never bothered much with mother's day (neither has my mum, for that matter), and I don't even know what you're meant to do on Saint Patrick's day.

You learn something new everyday. Frankly, I didn't have the first clue when either of them were.

I'll Be Celebrating both.
St. Patricks' day is a damn good excuse to drink copious amounts of Guinness.
It's my first Mother's day as a parent.

Mothering Sunday for me.
I'm not Irish, I have no discernible Irish blood or family, if I want to drink Guinness then I'll drink it on my own terms thank you, and I don't worship, much rate, or even really understand this mythical Irish culture.

mis_3a i still think they should be a little further apart They're on these dates for historical reasons. I bought my mum some chrysanthemums for tomorrow. I'm not going out tonight but I probably will be going down to the Irish centre with my family later. And for the Irish among you with a penchant for French, happy SymPatick Day.

Yes, celebrate your patron saint, an important religious figure, by getting royally tanked up and singing "white rover" in a silly hat.
My mum already got some Lilies and walnut whip. It's nice to appreciate your ma'.

I am so glad I got away with not working tonight.

I celebrate most things by getting royally tanked up. That's just how you celebrate. I did not sing any songs unfortunately. St. Patrick was indeed a teetotaler.
