Feast for St. Patrick's

(Kay corrected me and gave me a more complete description of our holiday tradition:)
When our children were young, we feasted on baked potatoes, green Jell-O, peas, and sugar cookies with green frosting.  For table decorations, raw potatoes held tall green candles, and a small pot held brass "gold coins".  I imagine for the kids, lighting the candles and watching them burn was the best part of the dinner celebration. And of course we loved to wear green; (our "baby" daughter reminded her mom yesterday).

What is your family tradition on Saint Patrick’s Day?
Corned beef and cabbage ... or Irish stew?

"St. Patrick of Ireland ... was born in Roman Britain, and when he was fourteen or so, he was captured by Irish pirates during a raiding party and taken to Ireland as a slave to herd and tend sheep. At the time, Ireland was a land of Druids and pagans, but Patrick turned to God and wrote his memoir, The Confession.  ..."  – catholic.org/saints

"St. Patrick’s Day occurs annually on March 17 in observance of the death of St. Patrick [March 17, 461], the patron saint of Ireland. What began as a religious feast day in the 17th century has evolved into a variety of festivals across the globe celebrating Irish culture with parades, special foods, music, dancing, and a whole lot of green."  – history.com

P.S.: Searching our old PC & Notepad for Patrick, I found a trivial note I wrote to myself one year ago (as if I needed a reminder to eat 
a treat): "7:33 AM 3/17/2016 Thurs.  St. Patrick's Day; eat leftover green cookies in fridge."
