Many have already taken their trees down after celebrating Christmas, and the gold tinsel is safely tucked back into its box. Unless, of course, you’re celebrating St Patrick’s Day!
All over the world people are celebrating their heritage and what it means to them to be Irish. Families are spending more time together. Many are celebrating at festivals and others are exchanging St Patricks Day gifts. Whatever their plans they’re coming together to remember St Patrick and are thankful for what he brought to the country.
St Patricks Day gifts come in all forms, and there’s something to please everyone. Novelty items and clothing are always popular choices, as are personalised drinking vessels. What better way to help celebrate than to have your very own Guinness glass? You could even start a new tradition and hang them on your tree for people to find – we all love a treat.
So How Do You Go About Decorating a St Patrick’s Day Tree?
If your tree is already green, that’s a great start. All you need to do then is to add some inspired decorations and some flashy gold tinsel. Many add decorations in the shape of shamrocks, rainbows and leprechauns. You can also look out for ribbon, and maybe you’ve got some chocolate gold coins left over from Christmas! As a topper for the tree there are large hats available, or any large decoration which has a particular meaning to you that you associate with the celebration of St Patrick’s Day will do. Gold tinsel can be used to look like a leprechaun’s gold, and adding the coins will enhance that.
