Traditions are an important part of family life. They help paint a picture of a family’s values, culture, and character. They make for memories that last a lifetime, and they can be passed on throughout the generations. Through traditions, children can enjoy predictable touchstones that instill a comforting sense of structure, stability, security, and joy.

Saint Patrick’s Day is one of those joyful occasions that calls for fun and celebrates tradition but doesn’t impose a ton of pressure to deliver an epically magical experience that takes weeks to prepare. With just a few simple touches, you can easily make Saint Patrick’s Day a special occasion for the whole family.
