Happy Hour Mom and OpenSky are ready to offer you a perfect plan for kids on Saint Patrick’s Day! This Irish holiday is about celebrating Saint Patrick (circa AD 385–461), the most commonly recognized of the patron saints of Ireland, and is generally celebrated on 17 March. Every nation celebrates a little differently! While Canadians celebrate the shamrock imprinted on their flag with parades, the tiny island of Montserrat, known as “Emerald Island of the Caribbean,” along with Ireland and Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador in which St Patrick’s Day is a public holiday. Americans tend to upgrade celebrations in our typical fashion-wearing green, coloring water at the White House and Chicago River, parades, festivals, plenty of drinking and dining on corned beef, cabbage and, even , green milk (as my mom used to do.)
There are so many fun ways to commemorate St. Patrick’s Day! We would like to offer you a huge discount on a darling little chef set for your tots, available at our OpenSky store, plus a few recipes for the big day!
