We instill Valentine's Day in our children very early on. As I plan my week (and start to hyperventilate at the number of valentine's dards the "kids" need to create), I realize it is one constant celebration.
First - a party with our mom's club
Second - a party at preschool
Third - a party with playgroups
Fourth - my oldest asked if I had gotten them presents yet..
It's like a birthday!
The good news is that - in addition to writing a gazillion V-day cards - they do learn the spirit of kindness and giving. At the same time they ask for presents, they are making gifts for their siblings and parents. I already got a lovely 16 x 20 inch painted heart that is up in the kitchen. And I will tresure that for a long long time.
More than a Picassos.
Really.
Even if it is due to some mass marketing and, well, let's face it...it's a reason to have a party. But, nonetheless, it is sweet. Without the candy.
