St. Patrick's Day is one of our most favorite days of the year. It's best celebrated with fun and festive St. Patrick's Day games, maybe a few DIY St. Patrick's Day decorations, and even the best St. Patrick's Day recipes (we're looking at you, Irish soda bread!). But before you pull out your favorite green sweater, you better be prepared to entertain your friends and family with some funny St. Patrick's Day jokes and puns.
