Don't forget today is St Urho Day (March 16) and for those who indulge....the Finns drink purple beer instead of green beer.
And, I recently discovered that there is a celebration for my Polish heritage also; March 19 is St Joseph Day.
Needless to say, St Urho Day is the Finns way of competing with all of the attention given St Pats day.....totally tic but if you read the history on google, it's verrry funny!
