Looking Irish?

Yes we all know that with March upon us there's that very green holiday coming up quick. So just for giggles, I thought I'd share some fun things to add a little fun to your Saint Patrick's Day celebration. Now don't ask me what I'll be doing. I know that we'll be participating in the parade in the city. I don't know the date yet, But I'll be sure to let you know when I find out.

So we all know one of the stereotypical things that happen on Saint Patrick's Day is drinking. Is this because of tradition? Or stereotypes? I'm not really going to say one way or another.

This fun sweatshirt from DentzDenim on etsy is sure to make you the talk of the party. It has a large shamrock and ribbon that declares "Irish Today, Hungover Tomorrow". A great sentiment many folks seem to share on the holiday.

That not quite your style? Maybe you're having a party and would like to add a flicker of fun to the decor. How about some beer bottle candles?

Maybe you happen to be a household with a number of children. How about some arts and craft ideas to try and keep them busy, as well as give your home a celebratory feel?

Second Chance To Dream has a great list of 15 different kids crafts that you can try out. They cover a great variety from rainbows to leprechauns.

Movies for different holidays are a dime a dozen. I know it's a bit harder to find something for Saint Paddys, after all the movie a number of my family members have made into a modern tradition for it is the Boondock Saints. But I would like to recommend something a bit different.

The Secret of Kells is full of gorgeous artwork based on old knot works and illuminations. It's a fantastic story about an old Irish religious treasure.

Well that's all I have for you today, sorry it's a short bit of selection. But we can't all make lists a million miles long. Besides, who would read it if I did?
