Celebrating St. Patrick's Day...  

I'm part irish, german, french, God only knows what else
I wear green, cook the traditional corned beef and cabbage and this year-I made a grasshopper cheesecake. I'm really looking forward to eating that tomorrow!!
I think of the St. Patrick that converted all the Christians in Ireland..My mother was catholic raised-he's the one my mother always told me to pray to if I lost something-and he usually came through for me.
I don't believe in the leprechauns and pots of gold hooey...it's cute though...and I don't think I've ever found a 4 leaf clover-but maybe I will one day.

My grandma would be 110 if she was still alive. One of my best friends will be forty nine. I always wear green, I love Celtic music. I recognize that part of my heritage on that day, but I am a real Heinz 57. It is a fun memory, and I always had fun coloring pictures for my Grandma and sending them to her. Lots of four leaf clovers and Leprechauns. My friend wears green, and shamrock jewelry any time she feels like it, and if any one gives her any static over it she informs them that she is entitled to wear Irish stuff year around. She is Irish at least in part, anyway.

For me it is really nothing as I am not really a deeply religious person in general, I am however a Pagan. Saint patrick was the man who led the slaughter of a lot of pagans in Ireland. In other words, "drove out the snakes" as the holliday has watered down to.
Personaly, I'll probably have a few whiskeys with some friends though..I am Irish after all.

I knew that tomorrow was St. Patrick's Day. However, I never have celebrated it, myself. Green is one of my favorite colors, anyway, and I just might wear it. I also have some green leprechaun hat earrings and I might wear them, too. In fact, I have a lot of different earrings for the different holidays. I never did get pinched for not wearing green but I'm sure it hurt.I never have believed in leprechauns and pots of gold but I have a lot of clovers in my yard. Kathy.

We're not celebrating a St Patrick's day, but in other sites, my online friends are used of sending me St Patrick's Day greetings and comments, I'm sending them back the same.I think there's nothing wrong sending friends with the Irish luck.

Hi twoey68,

St. Patrick's Day to me means I have the day off work, which is always good
We will properly go visit the parents have dinner then just go to the pub and get extremely drunk and drown the shamrock

Might break out the green shirt but I doubt it. I did change my avatar to green so that might just have to do.

There was a big party at the Army Navy Air Force club which is right next door to us, we partied there on Saturday night. They had Irish dancing, and everything. It was great!! They also have Guinness on tap. We are going to go back there tomorrow and make sure to have a Guinness for St. Patrick's Day. There are also nice green cookies at Second Cup! :)

Hi twoey68,
I don't go for the drinking either, but I love to cook the tradtional fare. This year, instead of corned beef and cabbage, I'm doing lamb stew, with soda bread and because my hubby doesn't like cabbage in gravy, I'm just having a side dish of buttered cabbage.

I do decorate some for St.Paddy's Day as well. I have a green table cover and gold, shiny place mats. It can be fun to keep some of the traditions going. I even have Irish music to play for the fun of it.

No, I don't really celebrate St. Patrick's Day at all where I am from. I have heard on a t.v. report that people from Ireland don't even celebrate it that much either. I haven't found a four leaf clover before. Its weird how St. Patrick's day isn't a Holiday here. I hope you enjoy this special day.

Hi twoey, St. Patrick's day has never been important to me but sometimes I'll wear green. I've only known one person who believed in leprechauns and don't think it's a growing trend lol. I'm not into the drinking either. Blessings.
