St. Patrick's Day is a religious and cultural holiday celebrated every year on March 17. Named after the patron saint of Ireland, it celebrates the arrival of Christianity in the country as well as the Irish culture and heritage. While the festival has Irish origin, it is globally celebrated. So if you are an Irish at heart or like to know how to celebrate the day like an Irish, here are few ideas to help you.
Know the History:
Learning a little about the story behind the grand celebration would make it more meaningful and fun. So explore the history behind the festival. You can search the web to find the details. Sites like National Geographic and History channel have plenty of material to read. For a quick overview, here is brief about the festival.
St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland has been credited with bringing Christianity to Ireland. He was born to a British family but was kidnapped by Irish raiders. Sold to slavery at an early age, he turned to God to endure his time. After six years as a slave, he escaped, returned home and became a priest.
Finishing his religious learning, he came to Ireland, became the second bishop and started spreading Christianity. St. Patrick's teaching and methods were unique and thus widely accepted by the indigenous people. He included Christian teachings with native culture. For example, St. Patrick used a shamrock to explain the Trinity and included the religious symbol of Sun to Christian cross, thus creating a new symbol of faith widely known now as Celtic cross.
Although, St. Patrick's Day has been observed as a religious festival in Ireland over thousands of years, it was only after 1970 that the day became a symbol of Irish heritage.
Find the Facts:
Every festival has some unbelievable facts associated with it. St. Patrick's Day is no exception to the truth. It is widely known for its Irish heritage but many people do not know that St. Patrick was not an Irish. In addition, the color of St. Patrick's Day was originally blue. It was because Ireland has plenty of greenery, the national color became green. Another surprising fact of Irish culture is that shamrock was not the symbol of the country. It was a harp.
Go Green:
St. Patrick's Day celebration is incomplete without including green to your looks. Mostly green outfits are used to show the spirit of the festival. You can choose a green dress or just a t-shirt with Irish symbols to show the spirit of the day.
A leprechaun costume is wonderful if you are particularly feeling festive. It is easy to get a green hat with white stockings and fake red beard.
If all green is not your choice, try accessorizing with green. Anything like shamrock buttons, pins or green jewelry are wonderful ways to express the fun side of the festival. Emerald jewelry like Celtic knot, Claddagh ring or a four-leaf clover pendant is a nice choice for the celebration.
Other Ways to Celebrate:
Join the parade, eat Irish food and listen to some Irish songs to indulge into the spirit of the Irish festival. Learning some Irish phrases and words will be wonderful. You will feel more rooted in that way.

Celebrities are always inspiring and especially when it's about fashion, most of us want to be like a star at the red carpet. So this holiday season, why don't you dress like your favorite celebrity? You do not require a Versace or Armani dress for that but selecting the right accessory can also turn you into the celebrity you wanted to be.

Kate Middleton:
'The People's Princess' is well known for her simple yet splendid style. Kate knows the perfect way to look glamorous without spending multiple dollars. She is thrifty and never afraid of recycling her dresses and jewelry. Therefore, it is easy to dress like the princess. Choose a coatdress in blue, green or grey with matching hat and get a ring inspired by that signature blue sapphire and diamond engagement ringwith a pair of pearl dangles like those worn by her at many occasions. With minimal make-up, shiny open locks and a pair of wedges, you are ready like the princess.
Angelina Jolie:
The modern Cleopatra of Hollywood always carries a look so classy that everyone wants to replicate. Carry the elegance with sensuality, bring out your LBD or a flowing green gown, half swept your hair and add a pair of emerald earrings to be like the party beauty. For much resemblance, you can try some temporary tattoos.
Dressing like your favorite celebrity is so easy and its fun too. While you will find the dress in your wardrobe or at the nearest mall, I would suggest getting fine jewelry. It is because the real gemstone jewelry always has an appraisal value and it is timeless. Not just the holiday party but you can wear it ever after. I have picked these celebrity-inspired jewels from Angara.com, which has a remarkable selection of fine gemstone jewelry. The store is also offering great discounts and exclusive free jewelry gifts for Thanksgiving Day. That ways you have a great chance to get your favorite celebrity inspired jewelry at a value found never before.

“Be thankful for what you have; you will end up having more.” The time has come again when you get a full day to thank Lord for this lovely life of human and also your loved ones who have been the inspiration of living in good and sad times.
Traditionally, Thanksgiving is a holiday to acknowledge the secret presence of Almighty in our lives, for a bountiful harvest before the winter season. Carrying out something meaningful keeps the spirit of the day alive. Celebrating the occasion with friends and relatives and valuing their companionship by exchanging gifts is quite evocative. However, connecting with Mother Earth and its natural elements is much more exciting.
This Thanksgiving, feel grateful for the beauty of Nature. It will indeed make a difference in your celebration.
There are numerous ways of showing your gratitude. You could plan a road trip to some forest or wildlife century and appreciate the golden hues of fallen leaves. Cherish the existence of birds and animals on the planet or simply take a walk on the countryside with your kids. Let your children learn the traditions and values behind celebrating the occasion.
Do some spiritual learning and meditate before in the rising light of the Sun.
Starting your day with such relaxing outdoor activities, you can arrange for a theme party in the evening. Ask your guests to arrive in demeanors that relate to the environment in one or the other way. Decorate the party hall with components found in the natural environment.
Organic colors of the spectrum are good to go in your dresses; grass green, ocean blue, sunny yellow, rosy red, snowy white can be excellent pickups. Adorning your outfit with floral and animal jewelry is also a great idea to turn up in the party.
Charming and refined jewels, consisting of nature-based designs and vivid gemstones, can be the real companions to pay tribute to our Mother Earth. You can even carry accessories related to the theme such as floral headbands and headdresses. All this will make your holiday more glorious than ever before.

A record breaking online sales was witnessed in the last year holiday season. Every newspaper and magazine talked about the revenue that the e-commerce had mustered on the occasions of Black Friday and Cyber Monday. This was indeed a win-win situation for the online retailers and the shoppers, especially on the day of Black Friday.
It is rightly said that nothing interesting is ever completely one-sided. In a similar way, no matter how exciting the occurrence of Black Friday is, its negatives come as a surprise to you when you face a dreadful situation sometimes (wish this to never happen). Being the biggest shopping calendar day, the holiday suffers from a lot of accidents on the roads. Since everyone is in a hurry to grab the most impressive deals and offers as put on the market, there is an acute probability of road accidents and other adversities in the stores. To avoid such a tragedy on this happy holiday, what else can be a better solution than buying from the virtual world?
Incredible advancement in technology and the growing sagacity among masses have outweighed online holiday sales in the last five years. In fact, the alternative of online shopping acts as a gratuity on the occasion. You can calmly sit at your home with family and friends and shop for the whole day without any fracas and chaos.
Besides keeping away from all these issues of traffic congestion, parking and long queues at the billing section, you enjoy tons of other benefits while buying your favorite stuff from your laptop screen. Huge collection that might not be available at the local store, warm and friendly customer service, and free home delivery are some of the delightful leverages. Furthermore, you can conveniently prepare for the nearing festivals by being at home and not exhausting your holiday in going out and shopping.
So, make this year the biggest and safest shopping experience of your life; just reap the benefits of upcoming Black Friday discounts in addition to online shopping.
