St. Patrick’s Day is March 15th this year
Happy Monday morning.
MyPunchbowl users awoke this morning to a St. Patrick’s Day greeting in their inbox. We sent out our monthly newsletter this morning with a small reminder that St. Patrick’s Day is right around the corner. In case you missed it, here is a screenshot of this month’s newsletter.
If you look closely, you’ll notice that we say “St. Patrick’s Day is this coming Friday” at the bottom of the newsletter. Actually, it’s a little confusing this year. You see, St. Patrick’s Day is actually on Monday, March 17th. But this year, it’s being celebrated on Saturday March 15th. Apparently, the Roman Catholic Church changed the date to avoid conflict with Holy Monday that falls on March 17th.
So why did we say that St. Patrick’s Day was this coming Friday? Well, sometimes these things happen after too many edits– what we meant to say is “St. Patrick’s Day this coming weekend.” We’re not quite sure exactly how Friday made its way into the copy, but we take full responsibility for the massive confusion we must have caused around the globe this morning. Rest assured, St. Patrick’s Day is not March 17th this year nor is it March 14th… it’s actually Saturday, March 15th.
Bottom line: you have many options for celebrating St. Patrick’s Day this year. Perhaps you’ll head out Friday night for a few green beers or maybe you’ll choose to plan a get-together with your family on Saturday or Sunday. Or — you can wait until Monday and watch the New York City St. Patrick’s Day parade on March 17th (apparently, they didn’t get the memo either). Whenever you choose to celebrate, we hope you’ll stop by MyPunchbowl for all of your St. Patrick’s Day party planning needs.
