So why do we celebrate?

So today is St. Patrick's Day and I ask myself why is this something we celebrate? I honestly don't remember. All I remember from school was to wear green or you got pinched. I know I can look it up online to see what this national holiday stands for, maybe I will later. Today Jeff wants me to take Jordan down to the Mixed Martial Arts place and let him check it out to see if he wants to do it or not. Part of me wants him to do it , cause he needs a hobby. And part of me doesn't want him to do it , cause I don't want him to get hurt. They actually spar against each other.  Any who I guess we will see what happens. I want to go shopping. I think , I want to look for sun dresses to wear this summer. I haven't wore a skirt since my senior year in high school. Which is all I used to wear. Loved the mini.. Now I would love to have something just above the knee.
