There's a little gifty on my livejournal for everybody. Nothing special, but hey. Some totally random Irish proverbs, which seem festive: "A dog owns nothing, yet is seldom dissatisfied."
"A kind word never broke anyone's mouth."
"A lie travels farther than the truth."
"A light heart lives long."
"A silent mouth is sweet to hear."
"A turkey never voted for an early Christmas."
"Better be quarreling than lonesome."
"Bricks and mortar make a house, but laughter and children make a home."
"Don't break your shin on a stool that's not in your way."
"Even the longest day has its end."
"Everyone is wise until he speaks."
"It's not use carrying an umbrella when your shoes are leaking."
Happy St Patrick's Day! Slainte!

I know it has something to do with Snakes and St. Patrick and converting the Irish pegans to Catholics...
BTW, Idril, "A lie travels farther than the truth." that's my favorite.
