Do You Celebrate St. Patrick's Day?

If so, how?

Published on March 16, 2006 By JillUser In Blogging

Aside from wearing something green, I really don't do much on St. Pat's day. The only times we have ever "celebrated" it was when friends would have a party. I never even tried green beer!

It seems our kids' school makes a bit of a deal out of it. They have green snacks and have been talking about leprechauns and shamrocks. My kindergartner even had to build a leprechaun trap.

So, do you celebrate? If so, how?

I heard that even the Irish don't celebrate this day as lavishly as some people here in the U.S.

Anywho, My mom was named after St. Patrick (well, she has the female version of the name), so she makes sure to dress in her best green on this day, and she and her husband do go out to celebrate some years.

As for me, I've only gone out and done the bar hopping thing on St.Patrick's Day ONCE in my whole life...and I found it boring. Guess it's not my thing...I don't even drink, so no Green Beer for me. Different strokes for different folks, I guess. Biggest thing I did to celebrate today was to carry a shiny plastic Shamrock in my pocket to make sure no one pinched me (I really don't have anything green in my wardrobe).

I hope you didn't wear orange--or you would've gotten pinched!

I'm mostly Irish (grandmother was Apache), and I drink, so of course I celebrate.
