I really don't know why we celebrate this holiday. I don't know the meaning behind it. I really don't know anything about why it's around. But I do know some weird traditions I associate with it and that I've experienced so I thought I'd share.
1) Wearing green! My mom always told us to wear green or else we'd get pinched. And she would pinch us if we weren't. Lol I don't know why that is a thing. Do other people do that? I'm pretty sure I will always make sure to wear green in some form.
2) Shamrocks...and more recently shamrock shakes (YES!) I've never found a four leaf clover. That's the same as a shamrock, right? I think I heard the odds of finding one are like 1 in 100,000...or 1 in 10,000? Either way, rare.
3) Leprechauns and gold...that seems so stereotypically Irish. I wonder if that's offensive?
4) Green beer is apparently something they do in town. I don't like beer. EW. But it's kinda a cute idea.
5) It's 6 days until my birthday!! woot woot. That has always been something I thought of on St. Patrick's Day
Do you do anything special for St. Patrick's Day?
