They were funny to look at.  I like the song group called Irish Rovers. I bought a necklace of shamrocks to wear on St. Patrick\u2019s Day. Wearing something green for St. Patrick is a tradition for a long time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have a good friend who is of Irish heritage.  His ancestors emigrated to Canada from Ireland in the 1840s and settled as subsistence farmers along the Ottawa River north of Renfrew. So, St. Patrick\u2019s Day was very special for his family when he was growing up. It is also his sister\u2019s birthday.  On the day, it was a combined celebration with Irish Stew and a birthday cake with green icing. His dad used to like to play fiddle music records and Irish Rovers that day, which his family felt was right because his dad\u2019s birthday was March 19. My friend\u2019s name is Patrick (I should ask if he is named after the day!), and his tradition is to keep thirteen different types of Irish whiskey and he always makes it a point to sample some \u201cnectar of the gods\u201d on St. Patrick\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
