Happy St. Patrick's Day my friends of the forest! The celebration started yesterday witha storytime
at the library where I work. The branch was blasting traditional irish
fiddle music, it was so fun! I spent the day baking irish cream
cupcakes and eating them with friends outside the local Irish dive bar,
Lucky's Tavern. Jesse and I went thrifting and now we're going to make
our traditional St. Patrick's Day dinner, green scalloped potatoes.
Yes, I am Irish and celebrate St. Patrick's Day every year. What better exscuse to wear my favorite color, green? Last year,
I hosted a big bash in the park complete with scavenged green
furniture, but this year I felt more low-key. Even though the origin of
the holiday comes from a saint who tried to convert all of Ireland to
Christianity. I believe in freedom of religion, and the old ways of
Ireland. Now, it seems the original meaning of the holiday has
backfired into an all-out pagan party day, perhaps too much...
What do you do on St. Patrick's Day? Any special traditions?
