Things to look forward to this March
March 3, 2022
As the world transitions from February to March, there is a heightened sense of excitement and anticipation for what the new start may bring. Fortunately, the lucky month of March will not disappointment with the return of Daylight Savings Time, new book releases, a brand new Disney-Pixar film, and the celebration of St. Patrick’s Day.
Daylight Savings Time Returns
Daylight Savings Time, also known as DST, is the annual practice of setting our clocks forward one hour in the summer. When DST begins, many grieve the loss of a precious hour of sleep. However, DST makes the sunrise and set later in the day, which means more cherished daylight each day. Daylight Savings Time will return on March 13, 2022; at 2:00 a.m. the clock will automatically jump forward one hour.
Stay strong. Daylight savings in 13 days ? Everything is better when the sun is out longer.

Holidays
The month of March is often most attributed to its lucky holiday, St. Patrick’s Day. The holiday is March 17, 2022, the feast day of St. Patrick – the patron saint of Ireland. The day is a celebration of Irish culture with parades, food, music, drinks, and most importantly, lots of green. It is best to wear green this holiday, to avoid being pinched by a leprechaun!
