To all you 'Irish' today

When I was in Ireland for St. Patrick's day a few years ago I observed the younger people embracing the drinking holiday aspect and the businesses starting to cater to them.

The older people however still recognized it simply as a Saints day and at most wore a few bits of fresh cover on thier lapel and prepared a nice family meal.

It's another one of those aspects of new vs old that really sticks out when you visit an old country like Ireland.
