Default Doing anything for St Patrick's?

We don't normally do anything for St Patrick's other than maybe try to wear something green. We have no Irish heritage and I'm not a huge fan of the traditional foods people tend to eat on St Patrick's day, like corned beef and soda bread. I did smile when a fast food place gave me a green lemonade yesterday.

What about you -- do you "celebrate" St Patrick's Day in any way?

I do have Irish heritage but don't do anything special. We never ate the traditional foods when I was growing up. When I worked I would try to wear green but I don't really have that color in my wardrobe anymore. I do have a "Kiss Me I'm Irish" pin on my bulletin board. It was from high school days so over 45 years old!

I think I might have gone to one party for St Patrick's Day in my life. I was never into big parties and didn't run in a crowd that celebrated it.

As I don't like corn beef, I made Dublin Coddle... it smells so good. I don't have any Irish in my... but my husband does (his mom's side are O'Quinns - but dropped the O when they came to the US).

Back in the day we'd always go to a pub to hang out and drink Guinness. These days we either spend it with friends, or more recently, just hang out at home. We wear our green t-shirts and drink Guinness. If it's sunny we'll sit outside for the afternoon, but unfortunately it's raining here today, so we'll be staying indoors. I'm making a shepherd's pie for dinner.

A little leprechaun left treats for my daughter this morning in the form of a candy rainbow, as well as a green t-shirt and some fun themed socks, so she was thrilled. Hubby got a candy rainbow too. Now I just need to figure out how to get that leprechaun to leave me treats too! LOL

At home our only acknowledgement of it is serving the kids Lucky Charms for breakfast. That's a big deal to them since we usually stick to boring, healthy cereals.

School is a different story. A leprechaun visited my classroom this morning. He moved everything around, wrote messages for us, left footprints and glitter, turned the toilet water green, and left us [plastic] jewels and gold in little black pots. It was a fun day, but my preschoolers were soooo hyped up from it all!

No! We used to - always went to some bar and drank green beer LOL Now, I don't even know it's St. Patrick's Day until I see it online.

I hate stupid holidays. No offense to all the people who love to find a reason to celebrate. It's something I admire in other but can't be bothered to do in my own life. Maybe part of it is because I've spent my adult life overseas where things like Valentine's Day & St. Patrick's Day aren't really a thing.

I get that--how sad is it that I celebrate with my kids at school but have never done anything more than serve Lucky Charms at home?
