On March 17th of each year a time honored tradition of wearing green, consuming lots of beer and attending one of many Irish parades across the United States is shared by many Irish Americans. Dating back to 1762, Irish soldiers serving in the English military proudly marched through the streets of New York City, reconnecting with their fellow Irishmen also serving in the army as well as reconnecting with their beloved Irish roots. But many wonder why is this day of celebration called St. Patrick's Day?

This festive holiday actually began as a religious feast day, a celebration of the death of Saint Patrick, who was the patron saint and national apostle of Ireland. Born in Roman Britain, the Saint was kidnapped and forced to migrate to Ireland as a slave. He eventually escaped, but later returned to Ireland and was recognized as the person who introduced Christianity to the Irish people. Interestingly, he was later ingrained in the Irish culture even further as legend states he was famous for explaining the Holy Trinity with the use of a three leaf clover, also known as the shamrock. Around the 10th century, the Irish people began observing March 17th as the Roman Catholic celebration day of St. Patrick, which is also the day that historianbelieve he died. As the decades have passed, the observance of St. Patrick's Day has evolved into a modern day phenomenon with parties and festivals occurring around the world. Rivers are dyed green, large quantities of beer are consumed and everyone loves to celebrate the Irish legend, even if they aren't Irish!

So in honor of the Saint Patrick, share in the fun with a gift full of shamrock cookies like the Mrs. Fields Shamrock Cookie Gift or the Happy St. Patrick's Day Cookie Tin, full of Irish cheer. The Gift Basket Pros are excited to celebrate in the observance of this classic celebration, and hope that you will too!

Did you know that each year on the first Sunday after Labor Day, there is a day created specifically just to celebrate grandparents? This day was was not originated as a means to sell more greeting cards and roses by the dozens, but simply meant to be a tribute to all grandparents and those that provide generational values to the family unit. This day was also created not only to recognize all that our elders have accomplished over the years, but for the younger generation to truly learn the strength and guidance that their wisdom offers.

This grassroots effort began back in 1970 when Lucille McQuade, who was an advocate for the elderly, worked with local businesses and church leaders in her community to observe one day as a day dedicated to grandparents. In 1979 her persistence and determination paid off as President Jimmy Carter proclaimed National Grandparents Day to be held on the first Sunday after Labor Day. Interestingly, September was selected to represent the "autumn" or golden years of life.

Although Mother's Day and Father's Day is meant to be more commercialized, Grandparents Day is simply a day to unite the generations, where the young learn from the old and the family is able to come together and serve the purpose of connection and bonding. Children are able to demonstrate their love and appreciation towards their grandparents and other older friends of family and community members. And although gifts are not the meaning behind this special day, grandma and grandpa would probably not refuse a delicious gift such as the Mrs. Fields Cookie Gift Basket! We all know that grandparents love to share and this sweet treat would be shared with everyone!

So on this special holiday set aside for our cherished elderly and the young at heart, show them you truly do appreciate their life experiences, their dedication to family and the generational insight that they provide. We need to learn all from them that we can to continue the legacy they have left for us.

As we slowly start the gradual transition into fall, it's fun to take a moment to think about all of those fun and exciting moments that lie ahead.

You first need to acknowledge the young student headed off perhaps for the first time, looking forward to making new friends and learning something new everyday. Grandparents and friends are all but too excited to treat those future doctors and lawyers to an exciting gift that will have them motivated to head out of the door and soak up every ounce of learning they can. The Mrs. Fields School Cookie Basket is a scrumptious basket full of fresh baked cookies along with apple-shaped butter cookies made just for the young student!
