Welcome to the Lucky Leprechaun Giveaway Hop for 2019, hosted by Bookhounds.
Do you celebrate St. Patrick’s Day? We’ve lived places that really, really did, like Chicago where they turn the river green, and places where they mostly don’t. I don’t remember much of a fuss in Anchorage – although I could be wrong about that. I’m actually not too sure about Atlanta, but then we are way, way out in the ‘burbs.
We were in our favorite Greek restaurant over the weekend and they were all done up for St. Patrick’s Day, which seemed both festive and just a bit off. Not that it’s not great that everyone kind of celebrates everything, but it also felt like a bit of a mismatch.
Admittedly, not as much of a mismatch of coloring the Chicago River green every year. Of course, the Chicago River has also been engineered to flow the wrong way, so what’s a little temporary color change compared to making the water run backwards?
Tell us about your St. Patrick’s Day for your chance at your choice of either a $10 Amazon Gift Card or a book (or books) up to $10 in value, from the Book Depository.

No I don’t really celebrate St. Patrick’s day; I think it is more for Catholics. I have heard of the green Chicago river though and it sounds interesting. 😉
I don’t usually celebrate St Patrick’s Day. There’s no particular reason.
I usually wear green. I like celebrating with my friends.
No I don’t. I am not Irish lol!
As part of our heritage we do celebrate , but not over the top. We make the typical Corn beef & cabbage with soda bread. For the grandkids it’s their green frosted cupcakes. Our town has their big celebration along the Main Street which has about 6 bars. For us it’s really just to have something to celebrate. 🙂
Not really, it’s just another day for me to be honest. I think I even have to work that day too haha. Thanks for the giveaway!
I don’t because it’s just not a big deal to me.
I usually go to the pub with friends.
Not really. It’s not big in South Africa. Some celebrate but I think it is just an excuse to get drunk 🙂
Usually we just wear green. Sometimes we drink a little bit, haha…
All I do is wear green, but that is so I don’t get pinched.
I don’t celebrate it, but I think it would be a lot of fun!
I don’t celebrate it, but I do remember the day by baking Irish Soda bread. I used to make corned beef, but now that I’m vegetarian, that’s out.
I don’t and I live in Ireland 🙂 I will enjoy the long weekend though!
I wear green other then that I don’t celebrate.
I am celebrating by cooking a Turkey this year.
I have no plans for St. Patrick’s Day this year.
We don’t other than the corn beef and cabbage
No, not really. It’s not a big thing where we live so we just give it a pass mostly.
No, there isn’t really a reason for why I would celebrate
I’ll have a beer or 2 even though I am not Irish.
I use it as an excuse to eat green cupcakes. lol
Only in that we have corned beef and cabbage. I’m a little Irish but not Roman Catholic. Hubs is Roman Catholic but not Irish ;).
We always do something with the children, like going to the parade in town. They love all the items they throw.
i wear green and watch the parade!
I don’t do anything special, but my daughter wears galic shirt.
We don’t really celebrate St. Patrick’s Day other than fixing Corned Beef, Cabbage & Colcannon Potatoes.
No, we don’t celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. It’s really not a big deal where I live. I grew up near Boston and we celebrated big there – wore green, ate corned beef and soda bread, made crafts in school — but now that I live in Washington we don’t do anything.
I used to go out and meet with friends. Now I just stay home. But I make sure I wear something green.

I wear green, put up a shamrock decoration in my office space at work, sometimes bring in holiday-themed snacks for the coworkers–that sort of thing. When I was young, my family would have corned beef and cabbage and I’d go to the parade or out partying, but those days are over. If I’m feeling really wild, maybe I’ll have a Shamrock Shake. (I’m not Catholic or Irish, btw. Anyone can celebrate St. Patrick’s Day.)
I don’t really celebrate St. Patrick’s Day but I do try to wear something green the day of so I don’t get pinched.
I will wear green but that is about it. My Mom used to make corned beef and cabbage when I was younger but I never really cared for it.
I don’t celebrate since it is not our holiday.
I usually put a St. Patricks day flag outside and wear green too
Yes, we enjoy it!
No I don’t celebrate the holiday. Ever since I moved to a college town that raucously celebrates this holiday, it makes it impossible to enjoy it any longer. 🙁
I don’t. I am not Irish.
Nope. It’s not really a thing here but some businesses do promos and things in line with it.
no, not Irish
Yes, we celebrate St. Patrick’s Day because we enjoy it. We usually wear green and make green treats, such as cookies or cupcakes.
As a kid, we celebrated every year. As an adult, I do not. I don’t make a special dinner and I don’t go out to the bars either. No real reason other than I am usually working or spending time with the kids.
We eat green things because it’s fun.
Not really since it’s not a habit here, sometimes I do drink a Guinness though.
I generally celebrate, but in a way that’s kind of low-key. I love to watch they dyeing of the Chicago River, and it’s always great to take in some traditional Irish music (which I love all year ’round).
Yes, it is a fun day 🙂

Yes I celebrate St. Patrick’s Day because I am Irish, look good in green and I am a full blown alcoholic lol!
If I do anything, it’s just birthday stuff for my best friend, because her birthday is on St. Paddy’s day 🙂
I don’t go all out but I do wear some green and hangout with my friends at the local parade

We did when I had kids at home, we had all sorts of things from Dollarama for them to wear.
not really not irish
Top of the morning to ya! Corned beef, cabbage, potatoes, and Irish soda bread.
My sisters birthday was on St Patrick’s Day. Since she died we don’t really celebrate it anymore.
I do because my husband and kids are Irish.
We don’t because we aren’t Irish.
I have corned beef and cabbage with my family.
Celebrate, no. Make corned beef and cabbage, yes because my family would mutiny if I didn’t
We just wear green is all, nothing too crazy.
Other than wearing green, we don’t celebrate. It’s just not a holiday we celebrate.
Yes; I enjoy the wearin’ o’ the green!
I don’t celebrate because there are too many other holidays and they stress me out
I wear green but that’s about it.
No, I don’t. But I do really love the color green. *smiles* I’m not a big drinker or a fan of big crowds so it’s usually just a day like any other.
I don’t usually celebrate St. Patricks day, it is not a big day in my home.

We always wear green and I fix cabbage and cornbeef
I do celebrate by having a family dinner. My husband is Irish
No Not really sometimes I will wear green but that’s it, I feel like I don’t know enough to celebrate it.
Don’t really celebrate it, but do wear something green. I don’t really think of it as a holiday, more as an indication of heritage (which I do have, but it is mixed in with a LOT of others–think of me as a true American melting pot!)
Cһeers! I enjoy tһis!

We feast on corned beef and cabbage on St. Patrick’s Day.
We eat corned beef and cabbage, and this year we got a green cake.
I can’t say I celebrate. I do wear green. I used to go out for corned beef & cabbage but I don’t anymore. I don’t drink anymore so I don’t go to a pub for green beer anymore.
I usually just wear green. That is about the extent of how I celebrate it.

Nah, mainly because I usually just forget about it lol, plus I don’t drink, hate cabbage and don’t have Irish roots as far as I know
If I don’t have to work we usually head out for a couple of green beers. The last few years I’ve had to work!
