One of the things I love about living in Boston at this time of year and the few months prior are the limitless excuses to celebrate. Not to trivialize any of the events that these days honor. On the contrary! Boston city folk have a spirit that seeks opportunities to drink, take off, or both.
First snowfall? Go drink.
Blizzard? Drink.
Patriots Super Bowl parade? Take off and Drink (when it happens)
Evacuation Day / St. Patrick's Day? Take off and drink.
The Friday of St. Patrick's Day weekend? Take off early and Drink.
The Saturday of St. Patrick's Day weekend? Drink.
St. Patrick's Day Sunday? Drink. Early and often.
Opening day for the Red Sox? Take off early and Drink.

Back when my home office was in Los Angeles, they never understood this schedule of events. Then again, I never understood the significance of Oscars Weekend - LA's version of the Super Bowl, being that they have no football team.
