Happy Saint Patrick's Day 2015 around the globe

Although Wintertyde 2015 ended officially on March 6th, Saint Patrick's Day, March 17th, provides a connector between the two holidays. We end Wintertyde on March 6th as that date brings Wintertyde at about a neat 60 day cycle. Also, by March 6th, Wintertyders are sick of Winter and are now looking ahead to Spring, which starts in 2015 on March 20th. So, you can see, that Saint Paddy's provides a perfect bridge. Decor-wise, your Wintertyde items, especially the front door wreath ought to be packed away for the year. However, it's a good idea to switch immediately into Saint Patrick's Day mode to forestall any the advent of any Winter blues still hanging around.

Then on March 18th, pack away the Saint Paddy's stuff, and switch into Springtime/Easter mode. These calendrical celebrations throughout the year provide a good, structured manner in which to pass through the seasons with a minimum of emotional torpor. http://time.com/3746018/st-patricks-day-global/

...and Wintertyde 2015 closes on a bright, snowy Winter day, March 6th

Wintertyde 2015 sped by, and Spring will be here shortly. Yes, check your Wintertyde calendar: March 6th is always the final day of Wintertyde each year. About that empty door...We simply go straight to Saint Patrick's Day on March 17th. When the Wintertyde wreath comes down, the Saint Paat's wreath goes up. This precludes any opening for "Winter blues."

Glad everyone made it through! Wintertyde will continue with posts occasionally during the "off-season."

Wintertyde 2015 wraps up on Friday February 6th. Are you prepared?

Yes, the final day of Wintertyde is February 6th. On this day remove your Wintertyde wreaths, and put them away for storage. Also, your Wintertyde tabletop tree comes down and gets packed up for the year. Wintertyde 2015 flew by...but then that's the idea: to make Winter speed by before it can entrap you in "Winter blues."

OK, trust you made a wonderful baked onion soup for Saint David's Day. Once Wintertyde is adopted by more people, there will be more to do with Saint David's Day, such as sending cards, etc. Accuweather says March first was the end of "meteorological Winter." I think this means temperature-wise. There's still a gap until the first day of Spring on March 20th. Fill this gap by switching into Saint Patrick's Day mode. Create wreaths wrapped in Kelly green with a bit of Ulster orange. Make sure one is ready to go up bright-tailed a bushy-eyed on March 7th, the day after the end of Wintertyde. Get yourself through Saint Pat's and Spring is a few more days afterward. You have survived Winter.
