 | From Amanda Rock, your About Parenting Editor St. Patrick's Day is a big holiday in our house. On the day itself we all wear green and eat our corned beef and cabbage (or at least my husband does), and it the days leading up to the 17th, we go to a family party and a community parade. | |
Shamrock Party Theme
The party we go to is a yearly extravaganza hosted by an old family friend. There's lots of food, plenty of games for the kids, and everyone has a great time together. If you are thinking of hosting a party for St. Patrick's Day, try a Shamrock theme. Check out some of these ideas from Christine.
| St. Patrick's Day Movies for Kids and Families

In the evening however, I'm always looking for something that will either teach my kids about their Irish heritage or simply entertain them. Carey has complied a list of family-friendly movies that do both.
