Celebrating the Irish Culture with a Hooded Sweatshirt

Irish Hooded Sweatshirt

My family has Irish descent and it has been a sad thing that we have never traveled to Ireland yet. My great Grandfather, an only son, migrated here in America and started the family line again on American soil. Only a few of us carried the Irish looks since most of his daughters and son took after our Grandmother, a full blooded Heinz 57 American. Ever since I found out I made efforts to keep track of my roots – it started when I noticed an Irish Hooded sweatshirt in the boutique that I normally go to and the good thing is that it was on sale. So I bought it and took it home with me.

Ever since then, I have been obsessed with anything Irish. It helped that Irish symbols were starting to become a bit popular in clothing apparel. You see I was the only one who had natural red hair in my family. My mom and dad had brown hair and my sister as well. I stood out. Now I know where the red locks come from. I was told that my great Grandfather and my Uncle had red hair as well. I wanted to know more about the Irish culture than just having an Irish sweatshirt. What I read about their culture simply amazed me. Now that March 17 is coming up, the Irish fever is definitely on.

March 17 is St. Patrick’s Day – the grandest holiday in the Irish calendar for the young and the old alike. This day is being celebrated in memory of the death of Ireland’s patron saint. Today, the day is also being linked to a celebration of the Irish culture, folklore and mythology. I read that Irish people wear a lot of green in this celebration. My family and I decided to celebrate that Irish tradition starting from now on. I was so happy that I bought them all green Irish sweatshirts that had a three leaf clover print and the words “I’m Lucky I’m Irish” below it.

We decided to turn it into a party. My mom cooked up an Irish menu and my sister was buying up a lot of gold, green and orange decors. We were inviting our relatives on our father’s side to celebrate our Irish heritage. We would all be wearing the Irish sweatshirt that I ordered of course. I instantly had a feeling that we were all going to have a good time with our sweatshirts.

Luck of the Irish on my hooded sweatshirt

I am so proud of my Irish heritage – in fact I wear my Irish hooded sweatshirt a lot to remind myself and the people around me where I come from; the pocket of an Irish Hooded Sweatshirt.
