Our local homeschool group is called Little Way Home Educators and is under the patronage of St. Therese.
So, more years than not, we celebrate St. Therese's feast day with others - sometimes "all out", sometimes simply.
Last year, we stuck to simple, gathering with just a few friends, where we enjoyed praying, sharing simple eats, chatting, reading together, and more.

For our celebration, we covered an outdoor table with a floral print tablecloth and had a bouquet of little flowers atop it all, of course, pointing to The Little Flower and her way of doing small things with great love.
Our simple eats consisted of French bread (to remind us that St. Therese is from France), plus produce and chickpeas arranged in "little flower" patterns.

The book Girl Saints for Little Ones became both a table decoration and a jumping off point for a chat about St. Therese.
Then, the St. Therese reading from Around the Year Once Upon a Time Saints prompted thought and discussion as I read it aloud to the children while they devoured snacks.
It was a simple, enjoyable celebration.
Perhaps it will inspire you in living the liturgical year with your own children or homeschool group.
St. Therese, pray for us.
