Valentine's Day!

There is nothing like a cold February day to make us want to simply cuddle up to the one we love.  So it is quite fitting that Valentines Day is celebrated in the middle of the month.  February 14th is the day we tell those whom we love, how we feel.  Besides the simple whispering of the words in their ears, it has become almost customary to shower them with gifts as a sign of our devotion. 


    As love has to do with our hearts, Valentine’s is also synonymous with the color red.  So everywhere you go, big red hearts can be seen!!  They come in the guise of chocolates, balloons, jewelry, cards, almost anything you can think of, and they can only be found (for the most part) only on this special day. 
   So what do most people send their significant others, well that would be roses. Yep, and of course, red roses! They send them single in a bud vases, mix them in with other flowers (again mostly red and white), or along with big heart shaped balloons, chocolates or cuddly teddy bears.  But most often, they send them by the dozens.  The rose has always been associated with love, especially the red rose.  So if a guy sends you red roses on Valentine’s Day (or any other day), it is his way of saying I love you!! 
   So I hope that you all have a special someone in your life, and that he or she, will shower you with roses and chocolates and everything else that will make you smile on this coming Valentine’s Day!!
