“Are you wearing the “GREEN” Today?”

Mar 17th “Are you wearing the “GREEN” Today?”

Today is the day that everybody wears something “GREEN” just to show that someone, somewhere in and of their ancestors, in the last hundreds of years – came from IRELAND! This is not necessarily true – but TODAY – everybody loves to join in all the FUN and GAMES – and then there are those who like to partake in the “drinking” that so many people think – that by doing so – that they are having FUN?

Most cities have their streets painted “GREEN” – and so if you are in the mood to watch the “PARADE” – you certainly will be able to find the “GREEN” road and – while you are in such a good frame of mind – may as well – follow them in the PARADE – since you will be dressed just as if you were suppose to be in the PARADE – but you are late and so – you are now following at the end of the line of “merry-makers” all dressed up in your finest of green attire and ready to party!!!

It has been a long time since the saying on this date – that there are only two kinds of people; “The Irish and those who would like to be Irish??!?” It must be – because there is something contagious going on when all the people in the whole world turn everything “GREEN” – and make all kinds of new stuff to wear – indicating that they are IRISH! With everyone in the FAMILY wearing “GREEN” and getting ready for a “BIG PARTY” time – I have never seen little children cry and act as if they are scared – for St. Pat’s Day – like when other holidays roll around and we take the small children to see and be seen – to take part in something that we feel will be FUN – but the child starts to scream! Children get so scared at other holiday activities – but Saint Patrick’s Day – the children love to be a part of the FUN and enjoy every minute!

Could all of this FUN come about because of the color “GREEN?” We do see “GREEN” money and everyone just loves to get their hands on the “GREEN MONEY” but what would happen if our money was “RED?” We could try any other color for money and see what effect that would have on the behavior of people – especially children – some thing – maybe for some country to try out and see what happens? Since we know that when we have no money – we are in the hole – I’m guessing – that if we used “RED MONEY” – every time we would try to buy something with the RED MONEY – we would “STOP” – as we would think we are putting ourselves further into debt???

Let ‘s all wear something “GREEN” today – join in the nearest festivities for this evening – and whenever we can – think of yelling something in the crowd – – “Erin Go Bragh” – “IRELAND FOREVER!” All those who are nearby – just might think that you are really IRISH – but if they question you – just say, – “If you say “ERIN GO BRAGH” three times before midnight – You just might be the “LUCKY” person to find the “POT OF GOLD” – as the ole “Leprechaun” is always leaving a little “POT OF GOLD” around for just the right person to find!”

So, NOW – that you know what to do – today – get all of your friends to go on a “HUNT” and do not forget the magic words to say – keeping your eyes wide open – because of all nights of the year – this is the night for “YOU” to find your own “POT OF GOLD!” “ERIN GO BRAGH!” DV
