Speaking of rainbows and pots of gold, leprechauns have served as the unofficial (and probably unwilling) mascot of March for years. You can blame it on St. Patrick's Day, the March 17th celebration of Ireland's patron saint. And while the Irish holiday is full of shamrocks, parades, corned beef and cabbage, and green beverages, you might be surprised to learn that the friendly and charming leprechaun of modern society (and of modern cereal with marshmallows) is a purely American invention.

 

With that in mind, we nominate the Tooth Fairy to fly in with some happy thoughts. If it's been a while since you've been in touch with her, you may be interested in scheduling your next dental hygiene appointment.
