We really don't. Other than remind the kids to wear some green. They always prefer to wear sneaky green so they can pinch someone back!

I teach KIndergarten and we celebrate! We read books and make some beautiful art projects.

I try to make cupcakes with green sprinkles and bring them to work. And I always wear something green. I don't want to get pinched!

MoeWest said...

I'm of Irish descent so I always wear green and have a Guinness on St. Paddy's day.

Unknown said...

We make green cookies and cupcakes for kids to take to school!

LethargicLass said...

Thanks for the chance :) My Mom (who is Scottish) has always written us personal limericks (my Dad's side is Irish)

Michele said...

Sometimes we go watch a parade for St. Patrick's Day!

emsgram said...

Barb Neiwert said...

We always wear green, and I set out this cute little set of 3 leprechauns. No green beer for us, or any fun searches for pots of gold.

BeachQuilter said...

We enjoy corned beef and cabbage! This year we'll have fun helping our granddaughter build a leprechaun trap!

erentz said...

We enjoy boiled dinner, corn beef cabbage and potatoes. And prayer... Wearing a bit of green of course.

Nita said...

No, I don't! Although I do try to wear something green. I'm wearing green this morning, will that count, do you think? Lol!

Miggsie said...

No traditions here, but I do make sure to wear green so I don't get pinched! Thanks for the giveaway!

Not really.... I will eat more green veg at supper though !!!

Unknown said...

I don't have any St. Patrick Day traditions unless you count pinching someone if they're not wearing green! I remember growing up in the 70's and we would really get each other with this at home or school! Great fun! Thanks for a chance!

Debbie said...

What a nice giveaway. I always wear green on St Patrick's day if that counts. Thanks again. I also added your great giveaway to the Weekly Giveaway Round Up @ wowilikethat.com.

Allison said...

A leprechaun leaves a pot of gold candy somewhere at our house, and my kids get to go on a treasure hunt to find it.

Alexis said...

We always dye our breakfast (milk, eggs, etc.) green. It's a lot o fun.

Sharon said...

When we lived in northern Illinois we would go to the parade in Chicago now that we moved I just watch it

Afton Warrick said...

No, but my four-year-old is big on special days, to the point of making up days such as Wild West Day, Train Day, etc. For that reason, I think we'll have to do something related to St. Patty's.

Jeanne Gwin said...

We plant potatos come rain or shine on March 17th. We also plant our carrots and other cool weather crops. Then we eat like pigs of the corned beef and cabbage that has been slow cooking all day. I might even make potato fudge just to stay in the green. Yes, I am Irish, 3rd generation.

Jennifer said...

We celebrate my father in law's birthday. Yes, he was born on St. Patty's day. He'll be 60 years young soon!

Unknown said...

We do wear green, but that's sadly about it. I had a former boss who met his wife on St. Patrick's day so every year he sent her the most gorgeous bouquets of green and white flowers. I always thought that was pretty cool, but can't claim it as my own tradition.

Kim said...

Thanks to the sponsors! No big traditions here.... though we'll make sure to wear green - and probably eat lots of green foods! :)

Rebecca B said...

We never had any traditions in the past, but my kids are just getting old enough that starting some would be fun.

Pamela said...

Wow! What wonderful sponsors you have! Thank you and thanks to them! We have a church in our town that serves up a corn beef and cabbage dinner to celebrate St. Patrick's day. We never miss it. Yum!

Beth said...

No Paddy's Day traditions at our house, but if we lived closer to a Fado Irish Pub I'd be there--not for the Guinness but for the conviviality.

Unknown said...

We do not have any traditions for St. Patrick's Day yet. My boys are still too young to understand all about the holiday. I do try to wear green, though, so I do not get pinched.

charlotte said...

We love corned beef, but don't always celebrate St. Patrick's Day, even though I am part Irish.

Jen Barnard said...

I don't celebrate St. Patricks day. You didn't say if the giveaways are open internationally or not - I'm in the UK. jen dot barnard at btinernet dot com

Kelly Vetch said...

Ours is a little silly, but I take the kids out and hunt for clovers. We have books with dried four leaf clovers in them as proof! lol Its fun and simple

Sew Here We Are said...

Wearing green of course, And as St. Patty's day usually falls during Spring Break we always do something with family that comes down to enjoy the beach.

Julie Thompson said...

The leprechauns always turn our milk green and leave a box of lucky charms for the kids. We end the day with corned beef, cabbage, potatoes and carrots.

Jacklynn Grimm said...

My husband is a great cook, and he makes traditional corned beef and cabbage. Yummy! Thanks for the give away!

Quilting Tangent said...

No traditions here, just decorate sometimes. 24Tangent@gmail.com

Rachel said...

Either the weekend before or after St. Patrick's day we celebrate with close friends and have corned beef and turkey. Every dish usually has meat in it (except the delicious desserts) and of course there's lots of Guinness flowing. We all have to roll out the door at the end of the night.

Unknown said...

I wear something green and go out to irish's bar with friends, enjoying the celebrations till dawn. Did I mention that I don't drink alcohol?? all comes down to having a good time with friends :D

Anonymous said...

Hello,we wear some "green" and may make chocolate cupcakes with light green mint frosting! Thanks for the giveaways!

msstitcher1214@gmail.com

Unknown said...

We wear the traditional green so we don't get pinched and I make a large amount of corned beef, potatoes and cabbage for dinner. It is a meal my whole family looks forward to all year!

Melissa H. said...

We don't do anything now but when we were little my sisters and I would pinch each other and claim not to notice the green! lol melcrafts (at) Hotmail (dot) com

Dynise said...

We always wear green for St. Patrick's Day so we don't get pinched.

Nick said...

It's the only time of the year I drink guiness! Love all the fabric thanks the great choice

Unknown said...

Yes we do. Being Scandinavian we love to make corned beef and cabbage for dinner on St. Patrick's Day. We also have a touch of Irish in us so we also like to make Irish soda bread to have with dinner. It is something that we as a family have done all my life and I am passing it down to my children as well. What a wonderful giveaway thank you.

Katie said...

Corned beef might be on the menu! I just found out I have Irish ancestry! Thanks for the chance to win!

Quilt Knightly said...

The only St. Patrick's Day tradition I have is receiving an annual St. Patrick's Day photo from friends who adore the holiday. :)

Wendy said...

Nope, I'm English.

Rachel said...

Just go out with colleagues to the local pub after work.

Tiffany said...

I've never really done much more than make sure I'm wearing green. But I have two year old twins this year, so I think it might be time for the leprechauns to start visiting!

Side note - I'll always remember the day my apartment flooded because it was St. Patties day and the only shoes that went with my green skirt were clunky high heels and I was grateful, since there were two inches of water on my bathroom floor...
