I don't drink, but I'm part Irish so I always try to do something special for it. This year I'm making a St. Patrick's Day scarf. If I start now I should have it done by March 17, 2007. I also love Celtic music and Highland Dancing. Once our whole family painted shamrocks on their faces and then we entered the limerick contest at a local restaurant. I wish there were more family oriented St. Patrick's Day events around. Then everyone can participate. Fabric stores also carry themed fabric so it's fun to make a shamrock vest or handbag.

I never was one to wear the green. Up until last year, I had few articles of clothing that were green. Now I have a few things, mainly sage green, but will wear it. Last year was the first year that I was decked out in green. I have a spot of Irish in me...thought it would be a good idea to let the world know it.

I observe it in a fashion.. in that I observe that it's St. Patty's.. I like the idea of it, but never really do much about it. Maybe corned beef and cabbage is in order this year!! With Reubens as leftovers.. I'm eager for spring.. so maybe some new greenery would be in order..

I always celebrate St. Patricks day and always wear green. I have Irish ancestors. While I was brought up Baptist I converted to catholocism in my early 20's which was when I took more interest in him. I read somewhere that one of the reasons he was made a Saint was that he rid Ireland of snakes. And if I am not mistaken there still aren't any snakes in Ireland. I'm sure if I am mistaken there will be someone from Ireland to correct that last statement.

I don't really celebrate it. On the news they always show pubs with people celebrating. I wore green when I was in school.

Aye Lassie, weel be a warin da green on Saint Paddys day. An on de day after we'lla puta ona reda fora Glorious Sainta Giusepe' daya. For Saint Patricks Day we will serve Corned Beef and Cabbage (with potato, onion and carrot as well) where green, sing the Lorica etc. On Saint Josephs Day we will wear Red, have lasagna and pray the Litany of Saint Joseph. Maybe we should start a Novena to end on his feast day.
