I like to celebrate valentines but My Husband and I really dont do anything but maybe go out to dinner but I love to decorate for valentines, One thing Im gonna do this yr is take my cashmere tree and put red lights and valentines decor on it so Im looking forward to that. I like to celebrate halloween because its a fun holiday and I like Easter. I like to celebrate but on my terms if that makes sense |
