OOPS! corned beef and cabbage is my fave tradition. delete my other entry? :)
I love to have a party every year because this is my favorite holiday. I make a lot of green things from cakes to cornbread! This year I am making pistachio pudding even.
I love being around family and friends all wearing green! My favorite color.
Growing up (prior to the considerations of ingesting food coloring) my Mom would serve green food for the entire day. I’ve eaten dyed green pancakes & waffles, green eggs, green soup, green milk, green juice, just about anything you could color green we ate green. With my kids I’ve carried on with some of those traditions choosing a bit more natural aspect with naturally green pasta, tortillas, smoothies, soups, etc. Makes it a bit more challenging, but still fun all the same!
We always wear green, of course!
Wearing Green
My favorite tradition is trying to find gold coins all over the house…kind of like Easter egg hunts.
Corned beef and cabbage
Happy St.Patricks Day to everyone!!!
We have a pot of gold with all kinds of goodies in it ,including homemade coupons like “no chores for a week” , or " a new video game" all kinds of things …I take 25 potatos and with a water color marker write each childs name on them 5 times each.. I then hide them around the yard or in the house ..depending on where we decide to play…and then I let the kids go and find them…the first one to collect 5 potatos with each childs name on it and place them on a small green box we made in the right birth order gets to take a grab in the pot of gold..we have runners up so no one is left out!!! this is traditionally done after our big dinner….and dessert is a very green, white chocolate mouse! :)
We started a tradition in our family to make cornedbeef and cabbage with irish soda bread. So good! Good excuse to make a good Irish meal!
Corned beef & cabbage in the crockpot! And maybe a Guiness on occasion :)
Corned beef and cabbage. Yum yum!!!
Sorry to say, I don’t have one! But, maybe we can make it chocolate! LOL
Eating corn beef and cabbage!
Green eggs and ham for breakfast, green milk, corn beef and cabbage for dinner with mint chocolate chip ice cream and green birthday cake for my birthday! We also make sure that we all wear lots of green or else iget to pinch everyone! I always get pinching honors cause it’s my birthday! I was born at 3:17 am!
My whole family wears green!!
today was the day my baby sister was born, Patricia Jo, Patty..
a birthday cake and many hues of green..
In fact she named her sons Hunter and Logen… shades of green..
A day of family … a day of shamrocks… a day we could wish to be Irish, then years later, doing genealogy, we discovered we really were …
smile
ooh
and Shamrock Shakes at McDonalds !
I forgot to put the tradition ! Pinching if your not wearing green and corned beef and cabbage:)
Best chocolates in the World !!!!!
Guiness is the best part of St Patrick’s day! Of course it’d be better with a box of your chocolates!! Yum!
Having kids puts a whole different spin on holidays like St. Patrick’s Day. This morning was the first time our daughter has gotten to dress up for school, and I have to say- it was SO much fun seeing the excitement on her face! It’s not really a tradition yet, but we hope to make it one!!
We did the green eggs when the kids were young. We did clover hunts. We have three of our six children who would look for 4 leaf clovers and always find a ton of them while the other three could not find any… just strange. With one son named Leckie he quickly got the nickname of “Lucky” due to people having trouble pronouncing Leckie. We do feel lucky to have him… ok… so does it sound like I am trying to win chocolate? You bet… Happy St. Patrick’s day to whoever wins!
Love, love your chocolate!
Eating yummy corned beef & cabbage!
Making sure to wish all of my Facebook Friends & Family “Luck O the Day” & not being too Green with Envy because we all have so much more than others affected by the current devistation around the world. All year long I dream about Country Mercantiles Mint Pattys Ofcourse!
corned beef and cabbage with friends – fabulous tradition :-)
Thinking about my Dad which I lost six years ago today and feeling every lucky to of had him for my Dad.
Wearing & decorating in green.
Having a shamrock shake,rocks too.
We always decorate the house for St. Pat’s & wear our green(you get pinched, if you don’t).
I like to get a shamrock shake every year too.
My favorite tradition is a celebration with my husband. We met on St. Patrick’s Day in 1987 at Kells Irish Pub in Seattle. I was wearing a pin that said “Erin go bragh” and he commented on it, so we started talking. During that conversation we found out that we had both attended college in Dublin in 1982 & 1983, while I was at Trinity College Dublin for my junior year, he was at University College Dublin getting his masters degree! We lived about a mile from each other in Dublin and never met until 4 years later on Paddy’s Day! It’s what storybooks are made of! And now we have 5 daughters named Fiona, Ailis, Ciara, Moira, and Sinead!!
Way back in Kindergarten, my teacher had the very BEST tradition. The day before St. Patrick’s Day, we would design and create Leprechaun traps with the high school students. The next day we came to class to find total destruction of our classroom. We’re talking tables turned over, carpets turned upside down, books thrown a strew, Leprechaun traps set off and filled with golden coins and green shamrocks. Nothing, however beat the green “pee” that we found in the bathroom. As Kindergartners, that was the prize winner. Who would think such little Leprechauns could cause such havoc? :)
Hoefully going to Magills in Pasco for corn beef and cabbage
Hoping to go to Magills in Pasco for corn beef and cabbage
wearing green.. but I just heard about giving/getting $2 bills. Which sounds wonderful.
We wear green, eat pistachio coconut pie, and also corned beef and cabbage. This year though we’ll be celebrating this year court side at the marriott center cheering on the BYU womans basketball team! Go Cougars!!
don’t have one
I wouldn’t say this is a favorite St Patrick’s Day tradition but for the last several years it just so happens that my rotation has me working on St Patrick’s Day. I am a deputy sheriff. My uniform pants are green, so I know I am safe from being pinched. (besides if a prisoner tried to pinch me, I have a taser!!!)
We have no long lasting tradition from when I was a child, but my husbands mother (When she was with us), always called the night before and double checked each of us on the 17th to make sure we were dressed accordingly. Green was a must. Very strong Irish roots. There is no doubt we think of her during the month of March.
Eating corned beef. Wearing green. Finding peppermint patties and chocolate coins around the house. Watching the kids make leprechaun traps. When I was a child and lived in warmer climate we use to lay in the grass and look for four leaf clovers.
I always make a tradional Irish dinner plus decorate my house with many leprechauns !!!
We try to do breakfast “green” with green eggs and ham. The kids love it!!
Wearing green of course!!!
Corned beef! My husband makes it for me. Which makes it even tastier!
Every year I hide a small bag of gold chocolate coins…the one who finds the coins first gets to pick what we have for dinner..it’s their lucky day!
LOVE LOVE LOVE YOUR STORE!
I always make the whole family wear green!
