Everyone’s Irish on March 17th

Very few things in this world have the same unifying power as St. Patrick’s Day. I’m not sure how a feast day for one of Ireland’s patron saints escalated to such worldwide popularity, but one thing’s for sure: we’re all a little Irish on St. Paddy’s Day and we’re more than willing to spend a little green to show it. The National Retail Federation says consumers will spend an estimated $3.6 billion this St. Patrick’s Day with a large portion of that, I suspect, being spent in the pub.

Eager for a share of the spending pie? Having an Irish moniker is a plus, but hosting a stellar party is better. Here’s a fun article from Entrepreneur that lists the ingredients for a great St. Patrick’s Day bash.
