We wear lots of green!
As a child, my father stressed the fact that we had no Irish blood - only Scottish. So - we were forced to wear orange on Saint Patrick’s Day in protest rather than wear green like everyone else! Too funny (sorry Shan!)
Not having any Irish in my heritage, my friends (not Irish either) and I get together to watch the parades, crack open the Guinness and have corned beef & cabbage. I’ll call my friends who are named Patrick and thank them for their Saint-like qualities. Then we pinch those around us who aren’t wearing green.
Front of home adorned. Coffee and dining talbes decorated. Play Irish CD’s often. Have Corn beef and cabbage, green jello and a green dessert a family tradition since a kid. Wear green on the day.
By telling everyone that I’m Hungarian. St. Stephen rocks! (Patron saint of Hungary FYI)
But since my brother-in-law, Padraic, is sooo Irish and his son (my nephew, Connor) was born on St. Pat’s in 2006 - I’ll be “Irish” for a day by adding green food coloring to all my cooking - yum!
Wear green and have corned beef and cabbage. Send St. Patrick’s Day/Birthday card to niece, Shaleen, who was born on St. Patrick’s Day.
At preschool, we make it Green Day. Everyone wear something green, we finger-paint with blue and yellow (which makes green), and read either “Green Eggs and Ham” or “Clever Tom and the Leprechaun”. Of course, just to stir things up a little bit, the leprechauns pay our classroom a visit the night before and play tricks on us (like switching toys around, turning things upside down) and hides a treasure for the children to find. I’m not sure who has more fun.
At home my Italian husband won’t eat corn beef, so he takes me out to dinner. But this year I hope by then to be singing “Tura-Lura-Lural” to my 1st grandchild.
