St. Patrick's Day

The St. Patrick's Day memory that stands out most to me is celebrating my Grandma Berry's birthday. Maybe the reason that my mom never had green eggs and ham with four leaf clover napkins and cups or such was because she wanted my Grandma to feel like it was her very own special day.

I remember a few times forgetting to wear green and getting pinched all day long. As a child, I remember feeling upset that I forgot to wear green. As I got a little older, I remember getting green paper or ink and hiding it on an inconspicuous place on my body so that if someone pinched me, I could reveal my hidden green and pinch them back ten times. It was fun to finally be smart enough to be the pincher rather than the pinchee.

To this day, I don't make a huge deal of St. Patrick's Day, but a little green fun brightens St. Patty's Day especially now my Grandma has passed on. St. Patrick's Day ideas you may want to consider for next year's celebration.
