Ma grand-mère est irlandaise, donc dans ma famille on célèbre la Saint-Patrick. Le 17 mars, on accroche le drapeau vert-blanc-orange à la porte, et on colle des petits trèfles irlandaises sur les fenêtres.
Après avoir mangé le ragoût traditionnel de ma grand-mère, ma sœur et moi rejoignons nos amis pour faire la tournée des bars. Je mets mon chapeau haut-de-forme et mon tee shirt préféré avec un farfadet à cheval sur un arc-en-ciel, et ma sœur porte une magnifique fausse barbe rousse et a même un petit sac à main en forme de marmite d'or!
Toute la nuit, on boit de la bière verte en dansant des gigues endiablées !
Joyeuse Saint-Patrick à toutes et à tous !
