February 20th, 2010Had A Great Valentines Day
I am one of those girls that absolutely loves Valentines day. Not because I’m eager for gifts or a fancy night out (although those things certainly are fun), but because it’s a chance for my partner and I to take some time out from our busy lives and actually focus on each other! It’s something that doesn’t happen as often as we like, as we both have busy careers as well as two beautiful children! Valentines is the perfect day to get a babysitter and go out for a romantic evening!
However, this year we got to thinking about the history of valentines day and started to read about it online. Actually this site about dating online has a very interesting write up about the history of valentines day, saint valentine, cupid and more so it’s worth a read if you’re interested in that sort of thing. It’s also a good way to prove to your partner that Valentines day is not simply a holiday made up by the chocolate and greeting card companies!
