Because when people convert to Christianity (or any other religion) they don’t just stop doing what they did before. They had stories and legends; they still have the same stories and legends.
Perchance, might it be the first hint that Caulfield and the other wee ones be actually of the clan Leprechaun, enjoying their one day a year that they need not hide their true nature?
I’m picturing the bar in Heaven full of famous dead people who have had holidays named after them, where everybody gets a bit into their cups and commences complaining about just how little their holidays have to do with what they did to warrant them. St. Patrick would be griping about how his efforts to do whatever he did got so overshadowed by green beer that even he doesn’t know exactly what he did to earn his sainthood. “If you think that’s as bad as it gets,” says George Washington, “I’ve got a mattress to sell you cheap.” While Jesus is off in the corner by the refrigerator, where he started going on about commercialism run amok but has gotten into a row with the bartender because he just lowered the price of Evian by turning it into wine.
This would be a good time to recommend that you find and listen to “Heaven,” by Talking Heads. One of the most underrated and beautiful of their songs. And vicious in its wit.
Santa Claus is more based on Thor then it is on Saint Nicholas. Easter has more symbols of fertility than of Jesus. (Eostre was the goddess of fertility.) Unless you celebrate Jewish holidays, they all have pagan symbols involved.

It’s Caufield who sometimes seems to have kissed the Blarney Stone.

To much references I’m not familiar with, but does “buns of blarney” translate into “kiss my ass”?

Could it be Caulfield is referencing that Frazz is often talking out of his ass?

How come we (almost) never hear something about St. Catty’s Day?
