This is one of my favorite holidays, even though we never do anything. I just like the fact that we have some Irish blood coming from Mom's side of the family. I'm not sure of the spelling, but there was an O'Shaughnessy in the family tree. Most people have told me they can tell that I'm Irish. Is it the nearly transparent skin tone that gives it away? Or my temper?
I baked sugar cookies, shaped like shamrocks today! A couple of their wee little stems broke off, but they came out pretty well. Don't they look yummy?
I'm not big on boiled dinners or Irish soda bread (eeew). Mom and I are both wearing green and sporting a shamrock. I like to pick up a little something for Mom for every holiday. St. Patrick's Day gifts aren't that easy to come by, but I think I did pretty good.
So, go kiss the Blarney stone, or pinch someone, or drink green beer (EEEW!), or whatever it is you do on St. Patrick's Day. This wee Irish lass hopes you enjoyed the day!
