St. Patrick's Day is just around the corner, one of my favorite times to celebrate my children's Irish heritage. Although I am not Irish myself, it's been my tradition to cook corned-beef and cabbage on the 17th.

Charms have always been a staple in folklore and mythology, as well as, for some in every day life. They can be anything from a "lucky penny" to a "troll doll."

My question is: Does anyone have a lucky charm of their own? And if so, what is it? And why is it deemed "lucky" for you?
