A Wee Bit o' Green, a Hint o' Hairy: St. Patrick’s Day with a Twist

Ah, St. Patrick’s Day—a time for green, good cheer, and maybe, just maybe…a little bit of magic. Sure, we’ve all heard the tales of St. Patrick driving out the snakes (which is just old-school pest control) and the lucky shamrock, but today, we’re diving into the lesser-known, slightly hairier side of this holiday.

Doors & Windows: Portals to Luck… or Cryptids?
Decorating the Threshold—Leprechaun Welcome Signs?
It’s tradition to deck out your doors and windows for St. Patrick’s Day—wreaths, shamrocks, maybe a pot of gold (or at least some gold-wrapped chocolate that mysteriously disappears before noon). But did you know that in folklore, thresholds are seen as magical portals between worlds?

That means your well-decorated front door isn’t just a Pinterest-worthy photo op—it’s a beacon for good luck (and possibly mythical creatures). A friendly leprechaun might drop by... or a Bigfoot looking for a St. Paddy’s pint.

Keeping the "Wild" Out (Or In?)
Doors and windows don’t just let the luck in—they keep the weird stuff out. Ever notice how old Irish cottages had shamrocks over the door? Sure, they’re festive, but maybe they were also anti-cryptid security systems.

And let’s be real—a well-installed door keeps out more than just mischievous leprechauns. If your front door is hanging on by a hinge, no amount of four-leaf clovers will stop Bigfoot (or your in-laws) from walking right in uninvited.

 
Bigfoot & the Blarney Stone – A Hairy Connection?
Now, you might be wondering:
"What does Bigfoot have to do with St. Patrick’s Day?"
Well, grab your Guinness and hear me out.

The Elusive Green Theory
Bigfoot is a master of disguise, blending seamlessly into deep forests and remote wilderness. And what color dominates those landscapes? Green!

Coincidence? I think not. Maybe all those Irish Bigfoot sightings weren’t cryptid encounters at all—just a really hairy dude celebrating in the woods.

The "Hairy Leprechaun" Theory
Leprechauns are known for trickery and elusiveness, right? So, what if—just hear me out—some of those “leprechaun sightings” were actually just a really short Bigfoot on vacation? Or, maybe Bigfoot is just a leprechaun who forgot to shave for a few centuries?

Either way, if you see a large, hairy creature running through the woods wearing green, it’s either Bigfoot or a guy who took St. Paddy’s Day a little too far.

The Wandering Giant Myth
Many cultures have legends of giant humanoids—so who’s to say Bigfoot doesn’t enjoy a good St. Paddy’s Day party? Maybe he’s drawn to the music, the laughter, and the suspiciously large quantities of corned beef and beer.

 
The Moral of the Story? Have Fun & Watch for Hairy Surprises
Whether you’re chasing leprechauns, spotting Bigfoot, or just looking for a good deal on doors and windows, St. Patrick’s Day is all about fun.

So:
🍀 Decorate those doors & windows (for luck AND Bigfoot deterrence).
🍀 Wear your green (to avoid getting pinched by both humans & cryptids).
🍀 Keep an eye out for anything unusual—because you never know what kind of luck (or hairy surprises) might show up at your doorstep.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! May your glass be full, your doors be sturdy, and your cryptid encounters be friendly.🍀😂
