5 Things To Do On St. Patrick’s Day

It’s that time of year again. Here are five things you have to do Saint Patrick’s Day:

Did you know that the Irish have been representing the shamrock since the 1700s? It actually symbolizes the re-birth of spring. How fitting!

Also- did you know that leprechauns were not always decked out in green. They used to be associated with the color red.

While you’re decorating, make sure to hide a pot of gold somewhere. The lucky winner finds it!

‘Luck of the Irish:’ what better day to pick up a Lottery Ticket?

Prepare an Irish meal for dinner! It’s the best excuse to cook warmed, mashed potatoes, corned beef and cabbage, hash, shepherd’s pie, or try out green beer!

While you’re snuggling up at the end of the night, make sure you watch an Irish-themed movie, such as: Brooklyn (2015), Far and Away (1992), or the Irish classic Waking Ned Devine (1998).

Okay, last but not least, I shouldn’t have to write this, but you NEED TO WEAR GREEN! ‘Cause if you don’t, a little leprechaun is going to pinch you!
