It’s a special occasion that originated as a way to honor the Christian martyr, Saint Valentine. But over the years, it has become a day to celebrate romantic love and loving relationships of any kind.
Couples (and want-to-be couples), friends, and family often exchange gifts and Valentine’s Day cards.
But, we think one of the best ways to celebrate the day is with a festive party complete with themed songs, decorations, and treats.
