Delicious recipes, exciting festivals and the color green come together in many nations to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, and people all across the United States are no exception. As a matter of fact, according to csmonitor.com, Americans were the first to begin pinching people for not partaking in celebrating and incorporating green into their wardrobes. The tradition of pinching dates back to the 1700s, when people fearful of being spotted by leprechauns would pinch others to remind them to wear green and stay safe.
To help you avoid an imminent pinch, here are some of our ideas for adding touches of green to your wardrobe on March 17:
Braid three pieces of ribbon with different shades of green for a crafty St. Patrick's Day bracelet.
Mix a drop of green food coloring in your favorite martini recipe to steer clear of pinches during your St. Patrick's Day dinner.
Make your own four-leaf clover pin by cutting its shape out of green felt and safety pinning it to your shirt.
Take inspiration from the latest nail trends and paint one fingernail on each of your hands a shade of emerald green and leave the rest of your nails with a neutral, soft color.
Sport the "luck of the Irish" by wearing the color of Ireland's flag with oranges and greens.
From all of us at Dancing Bear Lodge and Restaurant, we wish you a very happy, and green, St. Patrick's Day!
