Flowers, Candy, Champagne, Candles, Hearts, Oysters, Jewelry, Greeting Card, Cupid, Red, Arrows, Love, Music, Dinner Date, Kisses, Snuggling, Chocolates, Romance, Seduction, Gifts, Bubble Bath, Celebrate, Breakfast In Bed, Poems, Movies, XOXO, Sex-
The above are all traditional images and ideas surrounding Valentine's Day and how to celebrate. Select several for yourself and enjoy.
As a rule, I do not go out and celebrate any holiday by going to a restaurant on the actual day of the holiday. So I don't do New Year's Eve, I don't do St, Parick's Day (although I did go last year) I don't do Mother's Day and I don't do Valentine's Day. It always feels rushed and sloppy seconds to me and usually over-priced.
I have been married to my husband for almost 22 years and many years of dating. Before we married he used to write me poetry, make hand-made cards and on occasion bring me a simple bunch of red tulips from a neighborhood flower stand. I would create an elegant dinner at home with some sort of decadent dessert, and maybe a little Champagne on the side.
Today, we usually wait for the nearest weekend and try something new together. A new popular sandwich shop that opened up, a walk through a park we had not visited before, something different in the bedroom, you get the idea. This year we are off to the San Francisco Asian Art Museum that opened in 2003 and failed to visit until now, probably watch a romantic movie and eat a high fat forbidden dinner with a great bottle of red wine.
