[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids wore green.

Leprechaun ransacked our family room and left little gifts. He also peed green in the toilet.

Green breakfast, and green lunch.

Our kids love St. Patrick's day, and we aren't sure why. We only started doing this after our second child was very disappointed that the leprechaun didn't visit. I guess he heard about it at school? We aren't Irish, and my DH is Jewish. I'm sure his teachers at the Jewish preschool were caught off guard by my kid's outfit, green beads, and green lunch. [/quote]

It's because of school, and honestly because of parents like you. Sounds like you celebrate it big time!

I posted this on the thread in the elementary forum also." Let's take the holidays down a notch"

That blog is ridiculous. The mom is clearly chastising moms for what she perceives as going overboard, and then she posts an addendum saying she wasn't actually judging. Nice try. She's totally judging. And why? Because she feels inferior to other moms who go all out. That's on her, not them.

My kids are rapidly getting older. We really only have a limited number of years to celebrate things like St. Patrick's day. Why not make it fun? Who hates fun? We're building memories and making traditions. I hope my kids will do the same with their children. [/quote]
