A little bit of St. Valentine's Day history... 

According to Wikipedia:

"Valentine's Day or Saint Valentine's Day is a holiday celebrated on February 14. In the Americas and Europe, it is the traditional day on which lovers express their love for each other by sending Valentine's cards, presenting flowers, or offering confectionery. The holiday is named after two among the numerous Early Christian martyrs named Valentine. The day became associated with romantic love in the circle of Geoffrey Chaucer in the High Middle Ages, when the tradition of courtly love flourished.

The day is most closely associated with the mutual exchange of love notes in the form of "valentines." Modern Valentine symbols include the heart-shaped outline, doves, and the figure of the winged Cupid. Since the 19th century, handwritten notes have largely given way to mass-produced greeting cards. The sending of Valentines was a fashion in nineteenth-century Great Britain, and, in 1847, Esther Howland developed a successful business in her Worcester, Massachusetts home with hand-made Valentine cards based on British models. The popularity of Valentine cards in 19th-century America was a harbinger of the future commercialization of holidays in the United States.

The U.S. Greeting Card Association estimates that approximately one billion valentines are sent each year worldwide, making the day the second largest card-sending holiday of the year behind Christmas. The association estimates that women purchase approximately 85 percent of all valentines."

Happy Valentine's Day!

St. Valentine's Day...just another commercialized holiday or time to spread some luvin? 

Is Valentines Day just another excuse to spend money or should we have a day to spread love?

Most holidays are commercialized, I don't need a reminder when to say "I love you".

I think it's romantic to have a day dedicated to love & spreading the love! :o)

I think we should celebrate Valentine's Day...and make everyday of our lives the day to spread lots of love, encouragment and cheer!

julcal says:

I'm with you - it's great to set aside one day to make extra,
extra special!

Reggie_Marigold says:

Perhaps it's a bit corney. Still it's a fun and light-hearted. I like the day.

Joan4 says:

It is nice to have a day set aside to especially remember our loved ones -- we enjoy Valentines Day!

alteredkat says:

I think dedicating a day out of 365 to shower your loved one with love is wonderful!...but it doesn't mean the other 364 days you get to slack off. xo

Valentine's Day is also my birthday. We've already made dinner reservations at one of our favourite Mexican restaurants and have childcare arranged for the kids.
Yes, this means I get two cards. But hubby knows I'm trying to lose weight so he is nice and doesn't give me chocolate.

I love it when I find vintage valentine's day cards. They're so pretty. In elementray schjool I used to make the Valentine's box. That was a lot of fun. Almost as much as sending and receiving the cards. ::sigh:: Memories.
