sales answer:
St. Patrick’s Day greeting card sales are highest in the Northeast, and Boston is the top city, according to Hallmark. Across the country, Americans will exchange about 9 million greeting cards for St. Patrick’s Day this year.

The National Retail Federation reports that American consumers will spend nearly $2.7 billion to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day this year, up from about $1.9 billion in 2005. Wearing green is the most common celebration (82%) among the 96 million American adults who plan to be a wee bit Irish for the day, and about 31% will prepare a special dinner at home. The youngest crowd plans to party for St. Patty’s Day, with nearly 55% of 18 to 24 year olds and 54% of 25 to 34 year olds celebrating at private or bar/restaurant parties.
