[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Geez - we're about to go thru ivf treatments and stuff like this terrifies me. I feel like we're barely going to have time to raise a kid right. But now parents are supposed to do over the top bullshit for d-level holidays like st Patrick's day??!?! When I was a kid, we wore something green or other kids pinched you. That was it. What is this bs about leprechaun traps, gold coins and messing up rooms? are there other weird holidays that were not a thing when I was a kid that are major now? I'm a gen x'er. [/quote]

We're Irish and we only did leprechaun traps for school.  It was no different than any other project that they had for school but I actually think that the magical aspect made the project more fun.  How would you go about trapping a leprechaun?  What type of bait would you use? At school they would often put green dye in the toilets and when the kids went out of the classroom for lunch or recess a leprechaun would visit the classroom and leave evidence behind that he/she had been there.

At home, I always make corned beef and cabbage and Irish soda bread.  I'll sometimes pick up some shamrock cookies or do slice and bake. But that's about the extent of our Saint Patrick's Day celebration at home.  And, realistically, even if we had done more - glitter, footprints, etc - it wouldn't have been any more work than the tooth fairy (which we did do).
