[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Green drinks? Covered with my daily celery juice.
Green attire? Socks and shamrock earrings
Potatoes? Sure. Fries or shepherd's pie
Leprechauns? Sure. I sprinkle clover seeds in my lawn. 
Wealth? Buy lottery tickets. Kids get some chocolate coins in gold foil.

What do we read, watch, try our hands  - History and facts about Ireland, St Patrick, celtic knots, River dance, watch some Irish movies etc, read about notable Irish Americans, also - racism against Irish immigrants.

PS - While I would love to watch a parade, I ignore the drinking culture and I won't wear anything that I reduces the Irish people to a caricature or stereotype.  I find that very offensive.  I am not Irish or White or Christian.  So,  I am very glad that all can participate and it is a fun experience. . Very generous of the Irish people.  But, I am using this opportunity for my kids to actually understand the history behind a people and the nation - rather than do silly things like spill green color in waterways or milk etc.  This is frankly - disturbing and wasteful to me.
