We are actually having Valentine's week! (actually everyday with my hubby is Valentine's Day) We thought we would spread it out, howver. We aren't having a lovely dinner until Friday night for example. I am going to do something special for my hubby every day. He does so much for me all of the time. If it is nice, we would love to play golf this next weekend...but who knows about the weather. In any case, we will have a great week together!

I just had to answer this one as it would be very rude of me if I don't answer a Birthday greeting.\nFirst of all, thanks for the greetings, you are a special friend too, Anjie.\n\nNow, to answer your question, I am basically doing nothin' special on Valentine's Day as I don't have a valentine, I am only 18 and have my studies to concentrate on. I am not even havng a B'Day party :(. Maybe 2 or 3 years later I will consider celebrating Valentine's Day.\nI think it is a great day to express your feelings to that special one in your life. The one who always makes you smile, the one who you know cares for you more than his/her own self and the one you just cannot live without.\n:)\nThank You Saint Valentine!

I'm married, so I buy gifts for both myself and my husband. I'll probably make some brownies and we can watch something good on tv together. Sweet and simple.

Something little to let him/ her know that you love him/ her. \n\nBe creative! Valentine's day is not like Christmas where you have to give actual presents, it's about showing your love for your significant other.\n\nHere are some ideas:\n\n- Visit a local art museum alone, learn about the works with romantic themes, and bring your wife/ girlfriend/ boyfriend/ husband back for a personal tour.\n\n- Go for a mystery ride to an unannounced destination. Keep your husband/ wife/ girlfriend/ boyfrined guessing until you arrive at a favorite beach, ice cream palour, restaurant, theater, sport game, coffee shop, or ice skating/ roller skating rink, etc.\n\n- Fill his/ her whole bedroom closet, garage, coat closet, car, drawer, bathroom cabinet, linen closet, etc. with balloons.\n\nDon't spend a lot of money. Hope this helps you. Have fun!

February 14 is Valentine's Day. Although it is celebrated as a lovers' holiday today, with the giving of candy, flowers, or other gifts between couples in love, it originated in 5th Century Rome as a tribute to St. Valentine, a Catholic bishop.\nFor eight hundred years prior to the establishment of Valentine's Day, the Romans had practiced a pagan celebration in mid-February commemorating young men's rite of passage to the god Lupercus. The celebration featured a lottery in which young men would draw the names of teenage girls from a box. The girl assigned to each young man in that manner would be his companion during the remaining year.\nIn an effort to do away with the pagan festival, Pope Gelasius ordered a slight change in the lottery. Instead of the names of young women, the box would contain the names of saints. Both men and women were allowed to draw from the box, and the game was to emulate the ways of the saint they drew during the rest of the year. Needless to say, many of the young Roman men were not too pleased with the rule changes.\nInstead of the pagan god Lupercus, the Church looked for a suitable patron saint of love to take his place. They found an appropriate choice in Valentine, who, in AD 270 had been beheaded by Emperor Claudius. \nClaudius had determined that married men made poor soldiers. So he banned marriage from his empire. But Valentine would secretly marry young men that came to him. When Claudius found out about Valentine, he first tried to convert him to paganism. But Valentine reversed the strategy, trying instead to convert Claudius. When he failed, he was stoned and beheaded.\nDuring the days that Valentine was imprisoned, he fell in love with the blind daughter of his jailer. His love for her, and his great faith, managed to miraculously heal her from her blindness before his death. Before he was taken to his death, he signed a farewell message to her, "From your Valentine." The phrase has been used on his day ever since.\nAlthough the lottery for women had been banned by the church, the mid-February holiday in commemoration of St. Valentine was still used by Roman men to seek the affection of women. It became a tradition for the men to give the ones they admired handwritten messages of affection, containing Valentine's name. \nThe first Valentine card grew out of this practice. The first true Valentine card was sent in 1415 by Charles, duke of Orleans, to his wife. He was imprisoned in the Tower of London at the time.\nCupid, another symbol of the holiday, became associated with it because he was the son of Venus, the Roman god of love and beauty. Cupid often appears on Valentine cards.
