What are your Valentine’s Day Plans?

Blog Series: Words of Wisdom

The two holidays in February are Valentine’s Day and Presidents’ Day. Valentine’s Day is celebrated on February 14 and Presidents’ Day is celebrated on the third Monday of February.  Presidents’ Day is an American holiday honoring two presidents: George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. This holiday is in February because both presidents were born in February.

Valentine’s Day is one of my favorite holidays. Valentine’s Day is all about buying presents like sweets, chocolate, candy, jewelry, cards, roses, and lottery tickets for people you love. It is also a time to get together with your family and friends like your parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends. It is a time to have fun, play games and share meals together. It is a time to show them how much you love them.

I would like to share some ideas on how to love people since Valentine’s Day is about spreading love:

1. Call people on the telephone every day and telling them that you love them.
2. Give family and friends a big hug (air hug) when you visit their house to see them.
3. Mail family and friends a special homemade card saying how much you love them.
4. Bake delicious treats like a tray of cupcakes with vanilla frosting or chocolate chip cookies as a surprise for the special people in your life.
5. Help people with chores around the house so they can see how much you appreciate them and want to help them.
6. Prepare someone’s favorite meal for them and invite them over to your house or deliver the meal to them.
7. Play a game with somebody or teach them a new game that will make them happy and laugh.
8. Make people feel important and special by saying something nice to them, like you are so beautiful, or I love your new shoes.
9. Say hello and smile and/or text them and send a smiley face emoji. Remember to always be kind with your words.
10. Participate in an activity with your family and/or that you love. For example, many people I know love to dance.

I would also like to share the top 10 things that I love in my life:

1. My family
2. My friends
3. GiGi’s Playhouse NYC
4. Dancing dreams dance classes
5. Sushi
6. WWE Wrestling
7. Cooking
8. Learning new things
9. Coloring
10. Traveling

HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY!

Stay safe and warm. Lots of Love and Happiness!!

Love,
