Gather close my friends ant let me tell you the tale of Sir Lampwick the Leprechaun.
Lampy the Leprechaun, a mischievous sprite, Visits each year for a St. Patrick’s Day delight. He’ll dance and play, spreading joy all around, Until the day’s end, when he must leave town.
So cherish the moments, while Lampy’s here, And he’ll return again, the following year.
Gather close, dear friends, and let me share with you the enchanting tale of Sir Lampwick, known to many as Lampy the Leprechaun. A cousin of Buddy the Elf, Lampy brings joy and wonder to children everywhere during the days leading up to St. Patrick’s Day.
Each year, Lampy visits homes on a mission to spread happiness and Irish luck. For seven days, he watches over families, rewarding well-behaved children with delightful treats and surprises. As the legend goes, Lampy loves Lucky Charms almost as much as gold itself!
Similar to his distant cousin Buddy the elf (Brayden’s elf that comes each December), Lampy arrives 7 days before St. Patricks day on a rainbow in search for a pot of gold. And for 7 lucky days he watches over the house and monitors the children. If he see’s that they’re behaving he brings a treat.
If he see’s children misbehaving? Well you’ve brought the wrath of the Irish Temper upon the house and all hell is unleashed… no that doesn’t happen. I haven’t gotten that far into developing story of Lampy ok?
But I’ll tell you one thing. Lampy loves Lucky Charms almost as much as he loves gold! How do I know this? Brayden told me.
Yeah.. he’s way into this!
So I brought home a box and some marshmallows, along with some green food coloring and gold sprinkles and told Brayden, that we should make some Lucky Charms Mashmallow treats for Lampy.
He was beyond excited, because that meant he got to whip out his kitchen utensils he got from Christmas and do some cooking with dad. We put everything together and sprinkled them up.
The Story of Lampy The Leprechaun
The story of Lampy The Leprechaun begins on the mystical Leprechaun Island, nestled in the heart of the Emerald Sea, Lampy is one of the most playful and spirited among his fellow leprechauns.
On Leprechaun Island, Lampy is known for his ability to spread laughter and joy, orchestrating harmless pranks and entertaining his fellow leprechauns with his quick wit and lively spirit.
His energy is contagious, and he’s always the life of the party at Leprechaun Island gatherings.
During his annual visit, Lampy stays for Seven Lucky Days, watching over the children and their home.
While the kids are fast asleep, he becomes more active. He may be hopping from place to place in the home. Maybe hanging on on his rainbow, or getting into trouble..
However, if the children have misbehaved during his visit, Lampy’s mischievous side emerges, and he sets about creating a bit of harmless chaos around the house.
He may rearrange the furniture, switch the contents of the kitchen cupboards, or even draw funny faces on the family portraits.
These pranks are never malicious or harmful, but they serve as a reminder for the children to be on their best behavior during Lampy’s visit.
Besides his penchant for mischief, Lampy is also a protector of the home.
As the children sleep, he keeps a watchful eye on the household, using his leprechaun magic to ward off bad luck and misfortune. His presence brings a sense of safety and comfort to the family, knowing that Lampy is always there to ensure their well-being.
If the children have behaved well throughout his stay, he leaves a special treat or surprise for them on his departure day.
This might be a note of encouragement, a handmade trinket, or even a clue to the location of a hidden treasure.
But most importantly he’ll leave an Irish Blessing for the family until his return next year.
We left a couple on the mantle for Lampy to see what he would think of them. I’m not sure what exactly is going to come of this, but I’ll tell you something. Brayden gets so excited to see what Lampy the Leprechaun is up to every morning.
And he can’t wait to see what green surprise Lampy will leave him when he rides his rainbow back to Leprechaun Island (that’s a thing right?) on St. Patricks Day.
