History of Valentines Day:

Sometime in the 3rd century A.D., Claudius II prohibited young men from marrying because he needed their service in his army and feared a lover or wife would prove to be a severe distraction from the art of war. However, a Roman priest named Valentine thought this was an unjust act and began performing marriages secretly for military men who wanted to marry.
According to the story, Valentine was discovered and imprisoned but promptly fell in love with his jailor's daughter. He was supposed to have written her a love letter and signed it with the now well-known phrase "from your Valentine.” Sometime in 270 A.D., on February 14, Valentine was beheaded, inspiring Pope Gelasius to declare February 14th as "St. Valentine's Day.”

Presenting Valentines Day Ideas about  Valentine Cards to that Special Someone
 

While you can always mail a valentine card, it is nicer to deliver the card in person, along with some enhancements to heighten the romantic passion of the moment as well.

For her:

• Hand her the card with a bottle of wine or box of chocolates.
• Present the card to her on bended knee and an engagement ring, if your relationship is ready to take that step.
• Write a message inside the card that tells her she is going to be whisked away for a romantic weekend and as soon as she reads it, do just that!
• Hide the card in her home or apartment, and then send her a text message telling her about the hidden card. Make sure you are at her home within five or ten minutes ready to prepare a candlelight dinner.

For him:

• Present the card to him wearing a sexy negligee, a bottle of wine and two wine glasses.
• Fix your guy his favorite meal, light two candles then present the card to him. A little wine here would not hurt, either.
• Give him breakfast in bed and tuck the card under his plate.
• Rent a hot tub for the evening and give him the card while the both of you are relaxing in the hot tub.

Enjoy being creative when making your own free printable valentine cards.

Here are  simple Valentine's Day ideas that kids will enjoy making:

Funny Valentine Headband

You will need white and red construction paper, clear tape, scissors, colored pipe cleaners and one sheet of white or red tissue paper. Next, cut two three-inch strips (7.7 centimeters) of red paper and one three-inch strip of white paper. Make sure they are long enough to fit around the child's head. Now proceed to:

• Rip the tissue paper into small pieces.
• Glue tissue pieces onto the white strip.
• Cut out four small hearts from one red strip to make "heart windows", remembering to save the hearts that are cut from the middle of the window.
• Take this red strip with the "heart windows" and glue it on top of the white strip covered with pieces of tissue paper.
• To make an antenna, tape one of the cutout hearts on one end of a pipe cleaner. Wrap the pipe cleaner around a pencil, and then slide the pencil out to create a spiral shape.
• Tape the antenna to the headband and place the headband around the child's head. Tape it in place so that it does not fall down over his or her eyes.

Kids can also bake cookies as a Valentine's Day gift for grandparents and decorate the outside of a cardboard cookie box with valentine clipart. Find a bear-shaped cookie cutter, mix some sugar cookie dough and roll out the dough so kids can create "bear" cookies. Spread red or white icing over the cookies, wrap them in wax paper and enhance the outside of the gift box with valentine bear clipart for a present that any grandparent would be thrilled to receive.
