It feels weird that considering approximately ten percentĀ of my cast in Rhapsodies is Irish I’ve yet to do anything with St. Patrick’s day.

I’ve rarely gotten into St. Patrick’s day mostly since I have some not so fond memories of the wearing of green being mandatory at the elementary school I went too, seriously. But the big one is because it is also my sister’s birthday (Happy Birthday Jul!) so to me it’s always been more her day than mine.

 

All the stuff with the leprechauns are fun but I don’t see any reason to limit my interest in Celtic faerie lore to one day (though the fact there’s a lot of folklore texts on sale at all the bookstores I know this week certainly is a perk.)

As for the adult stuff I really don’t need a night dedicated to getting plastered, especially on a weeknight and I usually forget that this is the week that corned beef is on sale if I want to do that culinary tradition.

But anyway I hope everyone else enjoys it so raise a Guinness while singing Danny Boy and have a happy St. Patrick’s Day!
