Do
you remember, as a child, how exciting Valentine's Day was? It was one
of my favorite school days. It was so fun to make our Valentine's box at home to
bring to school so our classmates could stuff it full of Valentine's.
Most of my Valentine mailboxes were made from shoe boxes or tissue boxes
covered with paper, and if I was really lucky my mom would let me use
wrapping paper as the covering! Most classmates made red or pink
construction paper hearts and our "best" friends got the special hearts
with the lacey paper doily attached. Of course as I got a bit older it
was the "secret crush" that got that special decorated heart!
Working as an Elementary
School educator, I still get to experience Valentine's Day from a
child's perspective. The mailboxes may not be shoe boxes or tissue boxes
and the Valentine's are probably bought and not home-made, but one
thing stayed the same...the excitement! It's nice to know some things
don't change.
Wishing you and your sweetheart a wonderful Valentine's Day.
Add some romance...two straws, one glass?
