The Towns being painted red, every rose is eagerly being snapped up, every shop has a red dress in the window, and, no one can forget the cutesy little teddy bears - the one that sings.
Its that time of year when the world goes red for VALENTINES DAY
on FEBRUARY 14.
But, why is this day celebrated ?
While the modern Valentines Day has become one that is spent with a loved one, or avoided like the plague due to its commercialisation, there are several legends about how the celebration began. It is generally acknowledged to be named after a Christian martyr named VALENTINE. He was believed to be a Priest, in Rome, during the third century who helped young couples to get married in secret, even though marriage had been outlawed by the ruler, he wanted to keep all the young men unmarried so they could join his army. When the Ruler discovered these secret marriages Valentine was killed.
Valentines Day is traditionally celebrated as a day on which lovers express their love for each other by presenting flowers, confectionery and sending greeting cards.
But gone are the days of the handwritten cards.
Wow, electronic cards, flowers delivered over the internet and "like" buttons on social sites such as fb, makes it all easier to get the message across.
Hopelessly-in-love couples may prefer a quiet evening at home, those eager to profess their love may want to opt for something a little more showy.
The average spending in the US is expected to rise 8 percent over last years last year to nearly $200 a person. And an estimated 4 million Americans are expected to pop the question or receive a proposal on February 14.
However, the day of love is not accepted in all parts of the world.
In the SUDAN, senior MUSLIM clerics urged SUDANESE youngsters in Khartoum to boycott Valentines Day, as it was a "Western Institution that could lead couples astray"
Nevertheless, the day is what you make of it, and can be a time to celebrate your LOVE in whatever way you choose.
How do i love thee ? let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and height.
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight.
For the ends of being and ideal grace,
I love thee to the level of every day's.
Most quiet need, by sun and candl-light.
ITS TIME TIME TO SPREAD THE LOVE
HAPPY VALENTINES DAY TO ALL MY FRIENDS FFF.

A little boy was waiting for his mother to come out of the
grocery Store. As he waited, he was approached by a man who
asked, "Son, can You tell me where the Post Office is?"
The little boy replied, "Sure! Just go straight down this street a Couple blocks and turn to your right."
The man thanked the boy kindly and said, "I'm the new pastor in town. I'd like for you to come to church on Sunday. I'll show you how to get to Heaven."
The little boy replied with a chuckle. "Awww, come on... You don't even know the way to the Post Office.How can you show me the way to heaven...."

Dearest Ms Gouda,
I am very happy to inform you that I have fallen in Love with you since the 3rd of January, ( Tuesday)
With reference to the meeting held between us on the 02nd of January At 1500 hrs, I would like to present myself as a prospective lover.
Our love affair would be on probation for a period of three months and depending on compatibility, would be made permanent.
Of course, upon completion of probation, there will be continuous on the job training and performance appraisal schemes leading up to promotion from lover to spouse.
The expenses incurred for coffee and entertainment would initially be shared equally between us. Later, based on your performance, I might take up a larger share of the expenses.
However I am broadminded enough to be taken care of, on your expense account.
I request you to kindly respond within 30 days of receiving this letter, failing which, this offer would be cancelled without further notice and I shall be considering someone else.
I would be happy, if you could forward this letter to your sister, if you do not wish to take up this offer.

The night Little Josephina was really scared sleeping by herself at camp, so she sprints out of her tent and runs to her teacher's tent and asks "Miss can I please sleep with you tonight ?".
Her teacher replies "NO"
Josephina moans and says "But my mummy lets me".
"OK then, just for tonight" the teacher replies.
Josephina jumps into bed with her and asks "Miss can I please play with your belly button with my finger".
She again says "NO".
"But my mummy lets me" says Josephina again.
"Well I suppose it's OK" replies the teacher.
Things are silent for a few minutes until the teacher leaps up screaming "THAT'S NOT MY BELLY BUTTON" .
Little Josephina replies "But it is my finger only , let me play with lips".
Her teacher replies "NO";
Josephina moans and says "But my mummy lets me".
"OK then, just for tonight" the teacher replies.
Josephina is now busy with playing with belly button pair with tiny and cute lips.
But NOW her teacher moans happily,"NO; just not for only tonight"
Nice game Josephina !
