    Every year we do the same thing, we go to my in-laws and my father-in-law cooks a ton of corned beef and cabbage. The rest of us (there's a lot of family) are responsible for making an Irish or green side dish or desert. Some people get pretty creative as to what they dye green! The adults also have the annual green beer toast (the kids have the option of green kool-aid).
