Happy St. Patrick’s Day! I am wearing my green today to celebrate my Irish heritage. I have Irish blood on both sides of my family. I would love to find a pot of gold today!
Did you know a leprechaun’s occupation is actually that of a shoemaker? Americans made the leprechaun into a friendly, smiling little man who dances a jig. In Ireland leprechauns are thought of as crafty and mischievous. The shamrock is associated with St. Patrick’s Day because it appears in the spring. Corn beef is also an American-Irish tradition as Irish bacon was too expensive so the Irish borrowed the corn beef from the New York Jews.
Just thought I would throw in a little Irish trivia today. Enjoy your St. Paddy’s Day!
