 Re: Where are those great family holiday memories?

Are your family holidays all you’d like them to be? 
Are they stressful?
Or are they kind of boring and you don’t feel like you and the family did anything?

Maybe come January you’re left wondering, "Is that all there is?"  You feel let down and also like you’ve let your kids down.

If this sounds familiar, check this out:

It doesn’t have to be that way.

Every February 14, the world celebrates Valentine’s Day. While there are different ways and traditions in celebrating the day, one thing is clear – anyone would be delighted to receive a card from a loved one.

It can be common and cliché but exchanging cards has been practiced in every culture at different times. Giving cards works both ways – it makes you feel just as good to give a card as it does to recieve one.

It is reported the oldest Valentine card dates back to 1415 A.D. The Duke of Orleans sent his French wife a card while inside the prison cell of the Tower of London. The card is now in a museum in England.

The city of Verona in Italy, where Shakespeare’s famous fictional characters Romeo and Juliet abode, gets around 1,000 letters for Juliet every 14th of February.

The 19th century marked the beginning of commercial cards when a post office recorded an unusually large number of letters—about 200,000 letters—on 1825. However, the commercial Valentine’s Day was introduced only after almost seven decades.

To show your loved one you care, you don’t have to rush out and buy a card.  To me, it’s much more personal if you make one.  Be creative, use materials you already have, and make it with love.
