I think for most of the US, St. Patrick's Day translates to "anything Irish"; hence the Leprechauns!
When I was a kid, it wasn't a Big Deal holiday. Well, at least where I live: it's always been big in Boston, for instance, where there's always been a large Irish-American population.
Ah, your St. Pat's Day celebrations sound a lot like what we do for Independence Day. Which, to be honest, is another holiday I can't be bothered to celebrate. I used to enjoy going to see fireworks, but these days it's hard to find a public display, what with the cost and the mess and whatnot. (Sorry, I'll stop rambling like an old lady in a minute!)
Anyway: did you have fun on your day off? :D
(Leprechauns are creepy, which is why I was so surprised to hear all the stories the kids had today!)
