Some like the day; others shrug it off.

But I'm in an elementary school where children dressed in red are delivering their Valentines, happy to be ambassadors of affection.

So, in the spirit of their streams of red tracing through our halls at this moment:

Happy Valentine's Day!

in our school, everybody in the building has a pink heart on a string with their name on it; these are traded throughout the day. every hour or so a name is called, the person wearing that name and the person named get a prize! I haven't won yet...

I received a couple of e-Valentine greetings and they were much appreciated.
But.
With the price they are getting for cards these days, I just cannot afford to send cards ... and for those far away whom I love (son and two OLD friends) I just sent a note on my personal stationery.
Remember when cards were $1? Now you can't seem to get anything less than $2.50 and it mounts up fast.
But it is nice to get real letters in the mail. I love getting envelopes that do not have windows!
With a heart full of affection for all the AWADers. ALOHA!

A USn friend was somewhat surprised when I informed her that in the UK it is usual to send Valentine cards unsigned. Apparently this is not true everywhere. So, who signs and who doesn't?

It still works just fine for reminding the unpopular kids that they are total loosers.

Right you are Faldage. I do not believe in having children exchange Valentines in school for that reason. One teacher I know had each child bring one valentine. They all went in a box, and each child picked one. The celebration was cupcakes and milk provided by the teacher.
Much kinder, I opine.
