I am a sucker for a good commercial holiday. There is something wonderful about a holiday that revolves around candy, flowers, and Hallmark cards! I decided several years ago to control my own destiny. Valentine's Day, Birthdays, Anniversaries...I make sure they are good because I orchestrate the entire shebang myself. I highly recommend it if you have ever faced a disappointing holiday. It works for us and I am much happier and romance has the potential of being in the air when the day's events live up to my expectations from the get go! This year I want photo gifts, truffles, and 30 mins of silence (bubble bath and slow sifting through one of my 33 free magazines that arrive on a monthly basis). I already know I will be wooed- the post it notes are posted and the chirps and chime alerts should keep all involved parties on task.
Valentine's Day is a great day to show love to those that matter and remember the loves of our lives. It is also a great day to offer warm fuzzies and make people smile. Hand the crossing guard a hot McDonald's Coffee. Bring your favorite daytime Rt.3 Rite Aid cashier a flower or candy treat (if you need to know which one needs a pick me up, drop me a line.) Share your time and talents to make your life and the lives of others cheerful. Take control of the holiday and turn it into exactly what you want it to be. What will my day include?
1. Chocolates.com will be delivering a lovely array of truffles thanks to a Groupon I scored for peanuts before Christmas. Check back later tonight for your chance to win a Chocolates.com gift certificate of your very own.
2. Photo Gifts!!!!! Photos have been uploaded and I even have several projects ready to be ordered from Shutterfly. Nothing says love like a personalized greeting card. Grandparents, daycare providers, classmates, students, and just about anyone that breathes will jump for joy to see beautiful photo cards arrive in their mailbox.
