Surviving St Valentines Day Any Excuse For A Party I Say!
Ten years ago if you had asked someone what St Valentines Day meant to them they would probably tell you that it was no big deal. It may have been important for a florist who has to deal with the promotion or a local restaurant that offers roses with its dinner but it was never such a big hype with so much money, time and effort being spent on it.
These days St Valentines Day is such a big thing that you would have to be living on the moon not to know anything about it. As early as December, you will be surrounded by advertisements, promotions, special offers and gift ideas in newspapers, on TV, on radio, on the Internet - basically everywhere you turn. Surviving Valentine's Day is easy.
For some people all this hype is way too much and they prefer to ignore that Valentine’s Day is on its way. And many people will find it quite depressing that they see or hear so much about it everywhere, and due to circumstance they are currently single and will have no one to celebrate it with.
Don't Sit Home Alone This Valentines Day - Celebrate It!
Contrary to popular merchant sentiment, Valentine’s Day is about love and not necessarily love among couples only.
It should also be shared and shown amongst family, friends and anyone you wish to show your love for. You can be 9 or 90 but love is something we all feel and it is something we all need in both small and big ways. It makes us feel happy and there’s definitely no point in letting the commercial aspects of Valentine’s Day ruin this feeling for you.
The history of Valentine's Day -- and its patron saint -- is shrouded in mystery. But we do know that February has long been a month of romance. Saint Valentine's Day , as we know it today, contains vestiges of both Christian and ancient Roman tradition. You can read about the history of St Valentine and see how it came about, but let's face it, it's a pretty dismal day if you have to spend it alone.
A note in the lunchbox, a beautiful flower when you walk through the door, an extra long hug and maybe a special meal with someone, this is what is important on this special day. |
Whatever the reason is for you to be alone this Valentine's day, just celebrate it anyway. You certainly won't be alone in being alone so find someone who will spend the day with you. Take a positive attitude to it all and celebrate the love of those dear to you even though they may not be the cherished partner you wish you were with.
A simple “I’m thinking of you my dear friend” or “Mum, you mean so much to me” can make a considerable difference to those people who do mean the most in your life, regardless of whether you are the giver or the recipient.
Put a note in the lunchbox for a child, give a flower to someone when you walk through the door, take time to get an extra long hug and maybe organise a special meal with someone, this is what is important on St Valentines Day .
For those who are in love, of course the day will have a special meaning to them but anyone can celebrate St Valentines Day with anyone they wish. Surviving Valentine's Day is just a matter of some positive thinking and action.We'll show you some great ideas.

So, who was Saint Valentine and how did he become associated with this ancient rite?
According to one legend, Valentine actually sent the first 'valentine' greeting himself. While in prison, it is believed that Valentine fell in love with a young girl -- who may have been his jailor's daughter -- who visited him during his confinement. Before his death, it is alleged that he wrote her a letter, which he signed 'From your Valentine,' an expression that is still in use today.
Although the truth behind the Valentine legends is murky, the stories certainly emphasize his appeal as a sympathetic, heroic, and, most importantly, romantic figure. It's no surprise that by the Middle Ages, Valentine was one of the most popular saints in England and France. Word is that he's no longer a saint now, but then, I have to say, where love is concerned, not many of us are!
I strongly feel that Valentine dinners should be made special. Choose your sweetie's favorite foods and surprise him or her with a wonderful romantic meal and a special table set for two (or more). There's all kinds of luscious treats in this cookbook and food should be a real treat sometimes, we all enjoy a tasty change.
How often do we get out the best settings these days. If you have a fireplace, light a small wood fire, set a little table close by, and use your most delicate china and crystal for the meal and the wine. A few scented candles and a small, low bowl of fresh flowers will complete the atmosphere... ...
But cooking may not be exotic enough for adventurous folks, so there's more great ideas for St Valentines' Day about what to do to make a very special gift or theme day for your loved one included in 101 Romantic Ideas as well as the Surviving Valentine's Day book. This is a gift from me to you. Use it yourself or pass it on to someone else, just enjoy creating love this day.
If you have a special friend, someone you like, or if you've been in love with someone for a very long time, you can also choose to print from onsite a Dozen Romantic Poems, all beautifully laid aside a rose, declaring your love in a variety of ways, both humorous and romantic. These you can copy and email or print and give to your valentine or special friends. Make sure your loved one's know they are loved in this way.

My Love in her Attire Author unknown My love in her attire doth show her wit, It doth so well become her: For every season she hath dressings, fit, For winter, spring, and summer. No beauty she doth miss, When all her robes are on: But Beauty's self she is, When all her robes are gone.
Love you always, From your Valentine... |
