Google Doodle for St. Patrick's Day Will Put a Spring in Your Step

Top o' the morning to everyone, and for those doing any Googling this St. Patrick's Day, there's an adorable Google Doodle waiting for you.

This year, an animated Google Doodle features six cute children -- each wearing a letter of Google's name -- doing a traditional Irish stepdance.

Although Google has had St. Patrick's Day Doodles since 2000, this is the first one to get the animation treatment. The company also created a special Valentine's Day animated Doodle this year as well.

The St. Patrick's Day Doodle is being shown in the United States, Ireland, Canada, the UK, Australia and New Zealand?

Irish stepdance has been best popularized by Riverdance, the troupe that started touring worldwide, performing the complicated spinoff of folk dancing in 1994.
