Happy Valentine’s Day! While there’s a lot of
festive holidays that I quite enjoy -- Christmas being one of them -- Valentine’s
Day is probably the one that feels most nostalgic, and the one I kind of miss. It makes me miss elementary
school, especially third grade. Back then, our teacher would hand out brightly
colored printer paper -- the kind that are connected and folded into long
sheets -- and we would cut out heart shapes, trying to get it so if we
unraveled the paper, it would be one long festive spool of hearts (or blobby
circles, which is what mine always looked like -- I had shaky hands). I also
was one of the kids that went all out on Valentine’s Day with handmade TMNT
valentines (couldn’t find those anywhere!) and home-made cupcakes or cookies.
Why can’t we grown-ups hand out Valentine’s Day cards like that anymore? Why
can’t my college classes put out little baggies so we can collect valentine
cards? I saw some Transformers valentines that would've been awesome to hand
out! Too bad. Maybe I'll do it next year just for fun.
