I should have asked you to find me one too. No chance in this Winter Wonderland. All the leprechauns are buried too.

50% Irish, & if I try to get away without wearing green on St. Patricks day, my mom would shoot me (even though we're not Catholic). My brother, who's name is Patrick, gets gifts from people at his work, nice hu? My gandparents came from Ierland. One came in through New York, with $25, the other came in through California with $35. They met up somwhere in the state of Ohio. My Gradpa had a brouge, & the family used to have parties like every weekend, which they recorded. So my mom brings out those tapes evey St. Patrick's day, so she can hear her dad's voice again. It's kinda sweet, even though I never got to meet him. Just a little family history...

I missed this due to the bank holiday weekend. I, obviously, am Irish. I think one of my granny's granny's people were Scottish but it's a few generations back.
Protestants don't actually wear orange on St Patrick's Day over here though..orange is very much associated with the Loyalist political movement in Northern Ireland- they celebrate on July 12th and march all over Northern Ireland.
I had a very boring day. I made a traditional Irish dinner- bacon and turnip with boiled potato and we went to the cinema. Ireland played England in rugby on Saturday so we saved our drinking til then. (we won, and won the triple crown trophy so there were lots of celebrations)
I did wear green- my brother got me a really cute Shamrock Care Bear sweatshirt in Long Island a few years ago that is especially festive!
I promise to try harder next year!
