Valentine's Day occurs annually on Februay 14. Modern day customs include sending greeting cards known as valentines to loved ones. School rooms are often decorated with lace and paper hearts. Gifts of candy and flowers are also common at this time.\n\nThe origins of Valentine's Day are uncertain. Many experts believe that it originated with Lupercalia, a Roman celebration honoring the wolves Romulus and Remus. During this festival, young men struck women with a goatskin hide called a februa. Receiving the blows was thought to make women more fertile and to ease childbirth. At Lupercalia, the names of all the young women in the city were placed in a box. Young men drew a name from the box and the couple would be paired until the next Lupercalia. Lupercalia was replaced with Valentine's Day by Christians.\n\nOthers trace Valentine's Day back to the rule of the Roman emperor Claudius II. In the 200's C. E., Claudius become frustrated when he had trouble recruiting soldiers into his army. Believing that the young men did not want to leave their wives and children, Claudius banned all marriages of single young men. However, a priest named Valentine disobeyed Claudius and performed secret marriages. Claudius found out about the marriages and sentenced Valentine to prison until his death on February 14, 270 C. E.\n\nMany historians believe the custom of sending poetic verse on this day originated with the capture of Charles, Duke of Orleans, during the Battle of Agincourt. From his prison cell in the Tower of London, Charles sent his wife a rhyming love letter.\n\nValentine cards became popular in Great Britain in the nineteenth century. Noted artist Kate Greenaway created cards which featured joyful children and beautiful gardens. Esther Howland was one of the first Valentine card manufacturers in the United States. Inspired by a British card, she began production in 1847. Her cards featured lace and paper flowers and leaves. Other card manufacturers emphasized Cupid, the pudgy, winged son of Venus, the goddess of love. In Roman lore, Cupid is known as Eros, the son of Aphrodite.

I always felt like it's one of those man made "holidays" (some people actually consider it a holiday) it makes people spend their money on presents, reastaurants, flowers, balloons, or whatever so who truly benefits from valentines day?. Love should be express on a daily basis, every day should be as special .

My husband is deployed, so I am my own Valentine.  I did what I wanted, bought myself a gift, ate the dinner I wanted, and pampered myself.  It was nice and I didn't feel to sorry for myself.  Works for all major holidays.

I have to agree with honeybunches. I never had a valentine, so I would love to just have a girl, my girl with me on that specail day. Just being with someone you care about a lot on holiday and events is good enought.

We don't HAVE to celebrate Valentine's Day. There is NO law that says you Have to but it is a day inwhich one can express their feelings towards their loved ones. Too bad, we don't express these feelings each and every day, isn't it?

Hello crazy lady, when I met the lady that ended up being my wife, we went out on a blind date for the weekend! Both nights I slept on the couch and she was in her bedroom. When I got back to work on Monday, I realized that we were together for 40 hours. I sent her 40 long stem red roses, one for each hour of our first date! We were married 18 months later and this Saturday will be our 11 year anniversary! There are other guys out there that are very romantic (we celebrate our anniversary each month!) and if you continue to just be yourself, stay positive and keep an eye out, you will find him or he will find you!

Once I gave my husband a dozen roses, and a mini-pictorial of our lives together, from dating, through children, and put little stickers on each photo describing what he means to me.. Such as thank you for loving me, being my best friend, being the first thing I see in the morning, and last thing I see at night (on a pic of him snoozing), for the family we planned, and the surprises you've given( on a photo of us at hospital with our surprise baby).. and so on.. he liked it, but he forgot the flowers at work, sometimes guys are just too macho for their own good. I have heard that many florist make up candy baskets, with salty and sweet snacks and sodas in it personalized for your boyfriends taste, I'd do that, but no balloons.. or they may get "left at work" too ;) ;) \nThen when he gets home, play some of his favorite music and have dinner, or go out, for that matter, it's your Valentines Day too, and just enjoy each other for the rest of the evening

Well, I'm overdue to have my baby, so I might just be having her tomorrow *l* SO, I cooked up Valentine's dinner last night. It was Linguine with shrimp and creamy sauce, strawberry juice (that I made) because I can't have wine :oP and I served up some delicious vanilla ice cream as dessert topped with homemade strawberry topping/syrup.\n\nIt was a nice and romantic dinner, and we BOTH loved it :o)
