Valentine’s Day Magic 

With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, make sure that this year is one that you will both remember. Make your loved one feel special and show your love and commitment by doing something different. Instead of giving the old favorites such as cards and chocolate, put in some real effort. It doesn’t matter if this is your first Valentine’s Day together or your 20th, it’s the one day a year reserved for couples. It gives us a chance to slow down the pace of the daily grind and to focus our attention on the one person who means the world to us.The origin of Valentine’s Day is steeped in mystery but legend has it that Saint Valentine sent the first Valentine’s card while locked away in prison after trying to help Christians escape the harsh Roman prisons. The valentine’s card he sent out was to a young woman who just happened to be his jailer’s daughter. She visited with him secretly during his confinement. Because they didn’t have long to talk, he would hand her a small card with loving messages, and the beginning of what we now call ’Valentine’s Cards’.Saint Valentine sent his final card the morning of his execution with the scribbled words, ’Forever in life and death, your Valentine’.Today, we celebrate Valentine’s Day in a similar way, with the stores filled with your choice of heart filled delicacies, stuffed teddy bears, romantic poetry inked into the material of countless Valentine’s cards that speak to the heart and represent our deepest emotions.
