3. Hang mistletoe around an oak tree, too
That is a sacred symbol of the Druids. You know that Patrick supposedly threw Druid books in the water and they sank. He said that meant they weren't holy; the Druids said it meant their texts were more weighty with sacred meaning.

5. Oh man...
I wanted St. Patrick's Day. I guess that means I'm stuck with Ash Wednesday.

12. Celebrate St. Urho's Day instead.
Edited on Thu Dec-08-05 01:02 PM by longship
Forget that wimp St. Patrick.

St. Urho drove the grasshoppers out of Finland one whole day before St. Patrick drove the snakes out of Ireland. That not only means that St. Urho was better than St. Patrick, it means that you no longer have to drink green beer. Instead, you get to drink grasshoppers and eat fish soup.

Read all about it here.

Illonen St. Urho's Paivaa!!!


Ooksie Kooksie coolama vee
Santia Urho is to pay for me!
He sase out ta hoppers as pig as birds
Neffer peefor haff I hurd dose words!
He reely told dose pugs of kreen
Braffest Finn I effer seen
Some celebrate for St. Pat unt hiss nakes
Putt Urho payka got what it takes
He got tall and trong from feelia sour
Unt ate culla mokakka effery hour
Tat's why dat guy could sase dose peetles
What crew as thick as chack bine needles
So let's give a cheer in hower pest vay
On the sixteenth of March, St. Urho's Tay

13. Yes, I hate the way everybody wears green that day
In Ireland, they don't wear green on St. Patrick's Day. And don't even get me started on the green beer they drink in this country.
