Do you have any St. Patrick's Day Traditions? (Other than drinking way too much)

We started teling my Daughter when she was 4 that if she said the word "leprechan" on that day, they would play tricks on her, so of course she said it a billion times that day. We turned the toilet water green, peanut butter on her door handle, her bike on top of the swingset..etc... so now she's 8 and every St pats day we have to do the "tricks" (running out of ideas) She loves it!!

properly the parades are a super custom too! infants get the time without work college and adults get the time without work paintings (different than bar paintings stress who get payed double or triple wages). Spray the hair, gown in eco-friendly, the full chi-bang. a solid lot of them participate interior the parades in the event that they are interior the courses or some team. there is the huge journey in Croker too! I actually won't be able to undergo in strategies who's playing this twelve months yet its the All-eire very final for the city golf equipment. frequently the church holds mass besides yet provided that its Easter week they moved Patrick's holy day forward to final Friday. i think of the custom of having a ceili on the crossroad has died out yet there is often some unfastened stay overall performance or classic dancing consultation interior the bigger of cities. Cheltingham is now a super journey that leads as much as St.Paddies day and it frequently tells actual everyone that the special occasion is coming. tSeactain na Gaeilge (each and every week that promots the Irish language) is likewise the week until now St. Paddies day yet that's often neglected. And the eco-friendly, shamrocks and beer.

We are not big fans of St. Pats but we are all about the holiday. We cook corned beef and soda bread and when I'm not pregnant (which has been every other St. Pats day), we brew some homeade mead (when I'm pregnant my hubby just drinks Guiness). We help the kids make shamrock crafts of some kind and we take a moment to remember the Druids ("snakes") that died. We are of Irish descent and it is a day to remember that and celebrate a little.

My kids and I do the Leprachaun box. Go here.... http://familyfun.go.com/arts-and-crafts/season/feature/famf39stpatday/famf39stpatday.html
I have been doing this for my kids almost 8-9 years now. My oldest is almost 14 and he still loves this. I fill the box with anything green I can find. It gets harder as they get older but that is what makes it fun for me. Although this year I think I am going to have each of them do their own box instead of one family one. Party favor section of any party store is a great place to find green things to put in the box(es). I also serve green pancakes, green milk, meatloaf and green mash potatoes and of course..green jello for dessert!! The kids usually get me some green flowers.

Well, since you already hit the big one--how about corned beef and cabbage for dinner with real soda bread?
