Dubliners don't go around wrapped head-to-toe in green with "Kiss me, I'm Irish" buttons and plastic bowler hats. A splash of green is all you need.Tip: Go ahead and pinch anyone who's not wearing any green; that's a time-honored tradition in Ireland.Step 2: Go to churchGo to church. Yes, you heard us. The traditional way to honor good old St. Patrick is by attending morning Mass in his honor. At the very least, pop into a house of worship and say a prayer for someone.Step 3: Greet everyoneGreet everyone you meet with a cheery, "Beannachta na File Pdraig oraibh" which means, "St. Patrick's Day blessing upon you." Try saying that after a few Irish whiskeys!Step 4: Bake a real Irish soda breadForget those sweet, cake-like loaves that pass as Irish soda bread here in the States. Find a recipe for the real thing, which is made with flour, salt, baking soda, and buttermilk—no butter, eggs, or raisins. Serve with lots of salted butter.Step 5: Make a stewWhile we're on the subject of food, ditch the corned beef and cabbage and make a lamb stew instead. Or have some Atlantic salmon. Both are more Irish than corned beef, which is a decidedly American-Irish dish.Step 6: Forget the green beerForget the green beer—to get it green, you have to drink the pale stuff, which isn't nearly as traditional as ordering a glass of dark, robust Guinness.Tip: When you raise your glass of Guinness, say "slainte" (pronounced "slawnche") Gaelic for "to your health."Step 7: Spend family timeSpend some time with your family. St. Patrick's Day in Ireland is akin to Thanksgiving Day in America, with the family counting their blessings together. They even play football! Well, actually it's a combination of soccer and rugby, but it's called Gaelic football.Step 8: Make a wishMake a wish on a four-leaf clover—or cast a love spell by thinking of someone while swallowing a four-leaf clover. It's also said that if you tuck one in the heel of your left shoe, you'll marry the first person who enters the room. But that seems kind of risky to us.Thanks for watching How To Celebrate St. Patrick's Day Like an Irishman!

Mar 25, 2012 - Hello from Dublin Ireland if you were born in the US you are American not Irish american you dont hear people in Ireland goin i am French Irish or any country Irish, maybe its because the US has only fairly recent history and they feel the need to add countries to their own for "heritage" but where your born your from end of

Mar 25, 2012 - aww yeah man I know. I am not calling myself what I am not. I am American and from America but I am Irish and proud of it, know about irish history and culture. I am a LOT of irish. It's because America is a melting pot and we need to feel belonged to something such as heritage. can't blame us lol
