Pretty much Irish, and can't say I celebrate it too much. I do remember green milk for dinner when I was a kid though.

1/32 Irish. That counts, right?

I actually am partially irish, but I celebrate more due to my alma matre. St Pats is a BIG DEAL there!

I like guinness and pasties! Yum!

we're not irish, but DH and i celebrate at home with green beer and corned beef & cabbage!

My husband's maternal grandmother was Irish but he doesn't really identify as Irish. We don't do anything special but sometimes I make something green just as an excuse to bake something fun. We have a local market that makes amazing Irish Soda Bread so if I usually get a loaf!

Not Irish, but one of my co-workers did so we did an Irish pot luck for lunch on Friday. I made soda bread and it complemented the coddle perfectly!

My maternal grandfather's parents came from Ireland, and my grandfather was always VERY proud of his heritage. To the point where he insisted on wearing green on St. Patrick's Day, and NO red. (red is of Northern Ireland)

So, it is instilled in me and my family that we must honor our heritage, so yeah, we celebrate. I make corned beef and cabbage on the holiday, make the whole family wear green, and do a few activities with ds.

I'm really hoping dd makes her appearance before St. Patty's day, cause I'd really like her to be a part of it this year.

If she comes this week, I have my mom already lined up to bring me my Irish dinner that day, haha.

Half Irish/Half German, so any excuse for drinking is good by me! We usually make a pitcher of green beer, and last year we had a green food potluck party! This year the potluck didn't work out, and I think it'll be a pitcher of non-alcoholic beer, but still!!

Yep, I'm Irish! Usually only celebrate with a few drinks, and maybe putting out a cute front door wreath (but I do that for most holidays anyway!).

DH and I are both VERY Irish/Scottish so we celebrate and host a party every year. Not sure what DH did growing up but I would go to my grandparents house for a corned beef, cabbage, carrots, potatoes and soda bread dinner. It's always been one of my favorite holidays - even as a kid - even without any presents or too much hoopla!

Last year we used the holiday to share the news of our baby on the way, and this year I can't wait to celebrate her first St. Paddy's Day. We'll be doing things a little different, our fifth annual party will be a brunch instead of a late night drinking-fest. Alcohol is still going to be very present but we always have a potluck style feast. We skip the 'green' stuff though and just go for Irish treats. I make haggis handpies for the party every year, but have also made ale/whiskey/irish cream cupcakes, banoffee pie, corned beef braid, fresh bread with Irish butter and Irish cheddar, colcannon... And instead of green beer we drink Bass, Guinness, Harp, Smithwick's and the like. I am hungry just thinking about it!
