My fondest Valentine's Day memories are from simpler times. I remember when the most complicated thing about the lovey-dovey holiday was whether to pick the Care Bear Valentines or the Backstreet Boy ones. I always enjoyed attaching a piece of candy to every card and proudly waltzing into class carrying my bedazzled shoebox full of goodies. After school, I looked forward to going through the Valentines that I had received to see if there was a hand written message on any of them (particularly one from the obnoxious yet cute boy in the class).
It was a combination of the paper doily crafts, my full box of Valentines, and the light-hearted nature of the festivities that made the holiday so memorable. Even though fourth grade class parties are long gone, I still enjoy reading the messages on candy hearts, wearing pink from head to toe, making homemade cards, and of course, taking a bite out of every piece of chocolate in the box until you find the one with the caramel center.
