St. Patrick&#8217;s Day is on March 17. Period. Having celebrations on other days doesn&#8217;t negate that it&#8217;s<em> today<\/em>! Christmas is always celebrated on December 25 (even the people who open gifts on Christmas Eve can&#8217;t change the <em>real<\/em> date,) Valentine&#8217;s Day is always on February 14, no matter the day of the week, and St. Patrick&#8217;s Day is always March 17! Get it right, people!!! Wearing green on <em>Saturday<\/em> doesn&#8217;t cut it, if you neglect to dress in that hue <em>today<\/em>.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_17867\" style=\"width: 160px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/itsnotaboutme.tv\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/rsz_4photo-e1426628742362.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17867\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-17867\" src=\"http:\/\/itsnotaboutme.tv\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/rsz_4photo-e1426628742362-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Karen Salkin's shamrock-shaded nails.
