Saint David's Eve is tomorrow Saturday, February 28th. Prep those leeks and onions.

We are almost through the roughest part of Wintertyde: the final days of February, so we have a double reason to celebrate Saint David's Day as it falls on March 1st. Yippee! Then Wintertyde 2015 wraps up on March 6th. Spring is March 21st, so how do we fill the space in between? Celebrate the heck out of Saint Patrick's Day, March 17th. The popularity of SPD increases each year. OK, first let's deal with Saint David. Your Saint David's Day dragon ornament ought to be festooning your Wintertyde tree:

One ought to go on your Wintertyde wreaths, also. Celebrate both Eve and Day with Celtic music, beer, and onion dishes: http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/collection/st-davids-day

No falling into a pit of Winter blues on March 2nd as you shift immediately into Saint Patrick's Day mode even though it's not a Wintertyde holiday. Celebrate with green beer, more Celtic music, Saint Paddy's Day cuisine, etc: http://allrecipes.com/Recipes/Holidays-and-Events/St-Patricks-Day/ Your Saint Patrick's day wreath ought to go up on your front door on March 2nd. We stop Wintertyde on March 6th because the focus is now on the Spring month of March.
