Holidays/Seasons Decorations

I’m one of those quirky people that like to decorate my house for holidays/seasons. I mean in every way. I have something on the door, full on decorations in the house, candles and plug ins that smell like whatever season it is, candy bowls with appropriate candy, etc. You name it, I’ve thought of it. To be honest, I did this before I even had children. But it has gotten way out of hand since I’ve had the girls. They really get into it and it is just nice to have the house decorated. Plus, it is a fun way to teach them about the seasons/holidays. I even keep the decorations stored in boxes that are colored themed so that my husband can easily pull the appropriate bin from the POD. Then I like to shop to see what else is new that add to the collection. There is only one time a year that I get really frustrated. When I take down my Valentine’s Day decorations I am increasing irritated that St. Patrick’s Day is only celebrated at bars/pubs and there are hardly any decorations for it. I have had to create most of the decorations that I have currently and while that is fun, I would really appreciate a little love for my beloved holiday. I am of Irish/German decent (doesn’t that sound like fun for my husband – a strong willed, independent, control freak). The German only really comes out in my stubbornness and control freak. I am 100% a Kirk. Reilly’s name was very much to honor my heritage. So, if there are any others of you out there that know the skinny on where to get good Irish/St. Patrick’s Day decorations, please, please let me know! (And not the shamrocks that are covered in so much green glitter that it would take 20 years to get it cleaned out of my house.)
