AWWWW! That is the cutest tradition, Jay! In grade school (and I guess a couple times in college) I did try to remember to wear green. Now, not so much.
Hahaha green beer, I don't think I've ever had that on St. Patrick's. I should put that on my to do list.
OH! I just remembered, I happened to be in Chicago on the weekend of St. Paddy's Day celebrations, and I got to see them dye the Chicago River green! It was pretty cool. It was also FREEZING that day. Yet... I still accepted a free green Slurpee someone was handing out in front of a 7-Eleven...
