St. Patricks Day Subway Art Prints

Top of the mornin' to ya! 

For me, the main goal on St. Patrick's Day, while attending Elementary School, was to make it through the day without getting pinched.  You too?  It's a rather crazy tradition to keep, that if you are caught not wearing green another person has the right to pinch you.  However, if they pinch you and you are wearing green, you get to pinch them back 10 times. 

Curious how this tradition of pinching began,  I ran a few searches and got several different answers ranging from warding off Leprechauns to just a child's made-up game.  If you know the real history (or have a good guess) of how it all started please enlighten me!  Also, for those of you living outside of the U.S., do children pinch on St. Patrick's Day where you live, or is this unique to the U.S.?  I'd love to hear about how/if you celebrate St. Patrick's day! :)

This print is designed with words that children may typically associate with St. Patrick's Day...including pinching!   

(The prints shown below are 5x7's.  The print in the bottom left corner is printed on scrapbook paper.)

Now what would a post about St. Patrick's Day be without music from Celtic Woman?  Love, love, love them!  Enjoy their contagious energy as you choose your favorite print.  Bet you dance in your chair!  Bet you're humming the song later. :)

(Updated, sorry, the video is no longer available.)

If you're hooked now and want to hear more, click here to link to Celtic Womans' YouTube Channel.

To download: You must first click on the print to open it in a new window in it's highest resolution.  Right click on the print and either copy and paste it into a document (to size and then print), or click on save image as to save it to your computer. 

To size the prints:   The prints were designed to fit an 8x10 frame, but can be stretched to other sizes if you insert them into a document using a program like Microsoft Word/Publisher or Photo shop.  Insert the image, click on it, then drag the sides to the size that you want.  (A 5x7 will look slightly stretched vertically, but still looks good.)
