Hold the phone St. Patty’s Day! It’s National Agriculture Week and we are trying to do all we can at Porktastic to embrace the spirit! So wear all those shamrocks and go ahead and drink the green bee… well, whatever the beverage of your choice may be… but go ahead and tip that beverage for the farmer too. Here are some ways to incorporate a little pig power into your dedicated Irish celebration.
- Stop chasing that pot o’ gold. Pigs were a sign of prosperity in Emerald Isle back in the day, so try to grab onto a curly tail instead!
- And like we do for every holiday, here are some ways to decorate yourself and your home with pig paraphernalia (pig paraphernalia…say that five times fast). Decorate with this pig poster or strut your stuff with this pig and St. Patty’s Day shirt.
- Add a little bacon to your corned beef and cabbage. Go ahead, get a little crazy.
Do a little celebrating of St. Patty’s Day, National Agriculture week, and of course our curly tailed friend all in one feel swoop. And may you have the luck of the Irish all week!

Today is the most important day of the year. It is a day to stay home from work. It is a day of celebrating with family and friends. It is bigger than Thanksgiving and Christmas and New Year’s and the Fourth of July combined. It is a day to honor the reason there can be delicious bacon and pork chops and swine inspired doo-dads and even a nation of Porktastic. My fellow Porktasticans prepare yourselves because today is National Pig Day.
My friends, we will be grilling, baking and slow roasting all of our favorite forms of pork throughout the day, not to mention watching our favorite famous pigs like Babe, Porky, Gordy and Miss Piggy. So come party with us! We’ll be easy to spot since we’ll be the ones decked out head-to-toe in true pig style – nose, ears and of course curly-q tail.
But, if for some crazy reason your boss won’t let you off to celebrate this holiday of holidays, we have a few ideas to help you take the party to work with you:
- Choose your favorite pig tie or jewelry to commemorate the day.
- Hang a string of pig lights around your office or cubicle.
- Grill up some pork loin chops and bring enough to share with your coworkers, remembering they want to be home celebrating just as much as you.
- Get a pig piñata filled with bacon candy.
- Wear your favorite pig inspired tee underneath a button-up dress shirt. When everyone complains about missing Pig Day rip your top shirt off like Clark Kent and set up a completely awesome celebration of pigs and pork.
Have a Porktastic day holiday and be sure to tell us how you celebrated National Pig Day by emailing stories or pics of your celebration to Mr.Oinkers@gmail.com.
