Growing up, I always used to use the excuse that I didn't "need" to wear green because I was Irish. It was usually just a way to get out of being pinched because I just plain forgot to wear green. Where do these traditions come from? Alex asked me today what St. Patrick's day was about and I had to think for a minute. "I think St. Patrick got all the snakes out of Ireland," I told her hesitantly. "Yeah, that's what it's for!" Her response, which was a totally appropriate 4-year old answer, "Do we have to get all the snakes out of I-land?" "No Sweetpea, we don't. We just wear green."
How are you going to celebrate St. Paddy's Day? We are going ice skating (Alex has lessons on Weds.).
