Why March was a good green month

March is known for St. Patrick's Day (March 17), an Irish holiday that calls for green outfits and a lot of beer and festivities. On this day, we made sure to reserve a table at our neighborhood Pub, St. Patrick's Kapitolyo. It helped that we were in green as we were given free beer and wine, plus great service.

My Husband was as green as his Ice cold Green Beer.

But St. Patrick's day isn't the only reason why I'm saying "it's good to be green" on this third month of the year. There are other holidays that made us want to be green and eat green.
