St Patties Day

I'm not sure exactly when we started celebrating Saint Patrick's day but we've been doing it for quite some time now. I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the fact that my Mom hates snakes and thinks that anyone who would chase all the snakes out of a country deserves a special dinner in his name. Either that or it's because corned beef is always on sale around that time. Whatever the reason, we always have a great time, playing games, getting loud and singing songs off key..... almost like Thanksgiving with different food. That is one of the great things about coming from so many cultures, we get to enjoy all kinds of celebrations.

May you always have walls for the winds,
a roof for the rain, tea beside the fire,
laughter to cheer you, those you love near you,
and all your heart might desire.
