I think St. Patrick’s day has always held a special place in my heart. I think it all began when we used to make those “leprechaun traps” back in elementary school. I was so proud of my little Lucky Charm baited snare. I also admit I love my mom’s corned beef, cabbage and potatoes, *drools*. As I grew up the thrill ebbed away until recently when my Irish friend Sean told me how he celebrated the holiday – drinking a Guinness and “dancing” around to Irish punk music.
In honor of one of my now favorite holidays to celebrate, here are a bunch of Irish things I love:
Quin and Donnelly fashion
U2 - c'mon, everyone loves at least one U2 song
Vintage Cranberries
Dropkick Murpheys - when you just need to spin and kick, spin and kick
Because it's the one James Joyce book I can actually get through
Corned beef - I have sophisticated taste
When English breakfast tea just won't do
Ok, he's Scottish, but does it really matter?
How do you celebrate St. Patricks Day? What Irish person, place, thing can you not get enough of? Have you sat through Disney Channel’s Luck of the Irish? Let me know!

I’m celebrating by staying at home and eating crisps
Might have a glass of wine to mark the occasion!

Colin Farrell is my favorite Irish thing. I also love mint green nail polish, four-leaf clovers (stickers, tattoos, doodles), and definitely corned beef!

Honestly, my favorite Irish thing is just the thought of Leprechauns and finding a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. I’ve always adored those sentiments. And, you know, Lucky Charms – Best. Cereal. Ever.
Hope your St. Patrick’s Day was fabulous!!
