I just want to throw in a mention for Newfoundland -- St. Paddy's may not be a national holiday there (since those Republic of Newfoundland types haven't gotten their way...yet! ha), but it *is* a provincial one -- and a huge party. I know some Irish people hate the way St. Patrick's Day is celebrated around the world, but for me it's one of those really fascinating cultural fusion/diffusion phenomena. Great round-up, Hal!
