tarheel - Valentines day in my school is Friendship day. If you give to one classmate, you give to all. The distinguishing feature is that some are hand made. The hand made Valentines are usually for someone special.

Needless to say I have a scrapbook full of Valentines made by young children. I will soon retire and I'm sure it will provide much happiness and many memories when I am no longer surrounded by students.

Hey, I like chocolate and roses, too, but lets face it, they do not last forever.
