St. Patrick's Day is one holiday that people really get into and celebrate.  There is Irish Food, Green Beer, Parades, and singing Irish songs just to name a few.  There are many reasons people celebrate St. Patrick's Day, some are religious reasons others are Irish Heritage and tradition, and others just like to celebrate the holiday because of all the fun and festivities that surround it.

Many dress in green or wear items or accessories with Shamrocks on them but you don't have to wear a sweater with a giant shamrock on it. (Though that would certainly help you stand out.) The great thing about this holiday is you are free to celebrate as subtle or as wild as you like. St. Patrick's Day t-shirts have been a common article of clothing to wear proudly.

St. Patrick's Day also comes with many amazing decorations and gifts. People love to decorate for this holiday as well as the parades. Some cities will paint parade routes with green stripping on the road, others will turn rooms or halls into a Irish paradise with a lot of green and gold. People make gifts to hand out to family or friends while others will send something special to their friends and loved ones. GiftsBeyond.com has really been busy with Irish themed gifts. We have gotten a lot of requests for items that we do not carry at the moment. One of our most popular selling items is the Luck Of The Irish Gift Basket , the Irish Shamrock Neon Sign,  and our Personalized Irish Picture Frames. As we build our store items, we have never realized how special St. Patrick's Day is to people, we had a customer tell us it is almost like Christmas to them, sharing gifts and decorating their homes.

No matter how you choose to celebrate this holiday, this holiday is taken very serious by some as it is a way to celebrate there heritage and culture. A lot of time and planning goes into huge celebrations and parades which honor this day. 

We would like to hear if you celebrate this holiday and if so, what do you do to celebrate it. Do you have special traditions that you do every year? Do you wear certain clothing? Let us know and even submit pictures and we will post them on our blog. Show us your Irish pride! We cant wait to see and hear about your traditions and celebrations!
