Holidays are fun. I like decorating for every holiday. I don't have many decorations for Valentine's Day but it is always fun getting things out. What I enjoy most about Valentine's Day is helping my kids make their cards for their friends and classmates. It is fun for me because it reminds me of my childhood. I used to spend a lot of time thinking about which Valentine I would give to each person in my class. It was important to decide if the Valentine seemed suitable for a boy or girl and whether what it said would apply to how I felt about that classmate. I mean heaven forbid I give a boy in my class a Valentine that expresses my "like" for him and I didn't feel that way about him at all. It was important to be nice to everyone and let all of the class know that I cared for them in a total just friends way (especially the boys). Reminiscing about my school days is invigorating and gets me into the spirit even more when helping my kids. All three of them get to give Valentine cards this year and so today a week before the holiday we worked on it. The oldest two have already been asking me for a week when they can make their cards. I finally relented; a Mom can only take so much begging. But we all know I secretly couldn't wait as well.
