It might be just an excuse for retailers to feed off the guilt of the lovestruck but as I see it, Valentines day is a great excuse to receive truckloads of candy and chocolate, eat it with gusto and worry about the consequences later!!
I love that there is a day devoted to love. Who cares that it has been commercialised to within an inch of its life. So have Easter and Christmas but they remain some of my favourite times of year too primarily because they are days associated with spending time with the ones you love.
We are doing our best to teach our boys that love is a verb, and that it is something that needs to be expressed daily in both words and actions. We want them to know that expressing love is not something saved up for one day of the year.
This year the boys got to see Valentines day dressed in its commercial finery care of gifts and cards from their classmates. We got in on the act too and made some marshmallow pops for their friends and attended the school's Valentines Day Dance. It was fun, sweet and yes lovely!!!
