The Love Shack
Posted by Scott on 01/29 | Permalink | Email this entry |
Traditionally, I have not been a fan of Valentine’s Day. I fell into that group of cynics that considered it to be purely a commercial holiday – another way for greeting card companies, candy shops and…well, mail order gift companies to earn more money. I even read once that Sir Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin on February 14th and I happen to be allergic to penicillin, so I figured it was a sign that I must be allergic to Valentine’s Day as well!
This year, I decided to make a comeback to the world of optimism and LOVE! One cannot deny that Valentine’s Day is a holiday when companies like Dancing Deer promote their chocolate products and red & pink gift packaging. However, this fact cannot take away from the spirit of love that is shared between the sender of a delicious Dancing Deer Sweetheart Tower (for example) and their deserving recipient. It is a day to celebrate love of all sorts and if you want to send brownies to your sweetheart, friend, niece/nephew (or whoever!) to let them know you are thinking of them, then all the better!
To prove to my doubting co-workers that I was serious about my change of heart, I even baked a Valentine’s Day Gingerbread House (I like to call it the ‘love shack’ – original, right?). And I used a Dancing Deer Gingerbread House Kit to bake it…of course (nobody said that they have to be baked in December!).
This Valentine’s Day, Spread Sweetness in your World.
