Valentine's Day

Good day friends A few minutes ago, I realized that tomorrow is February 14, or as some call Valentine's Day. As an Orthodox woman, I have never celebrated that this day is the holiday of Saint Trifun, the protector of winegrowers. Basically, the essence is that young people here celebrate Valentine's Day, as well as my son. A few days ago, I saw him looking for a suitable gift and I offered to make him "fake" ice cream, as well as heart-shaped pizzas (I came up with the idea when a member wrote a post about a company that will make heart-shaped pizzas). My son agreed, I bought some of the material, but not all of it. I have to buy it tomorrow. Please keep your thumbs up so that everything turns out nicely. Do you celebrate Valentine's Day? P.S. The picture is from the internet to see what it is about. I hope that I will also photograph my masterpiece.

That is a good idea for a Valentines gift. Please show us what you will make in the post. No, we don't celebrate Valentines Day here.

My son always tries to be original with gifts and doesn't want to repeat himself with gifts, so this idea of mine was accepted, because he didn't have anything like it before. Yes, I will post a new post probably tomorrow, when I'm done.

@Nevena83 I prepared a Swiss Roll, the roll is with hazelnuts, the filling mascarpone and whipped cream. I made little hearts with white chocolate, I will take a photo.

That is sweet that you are helping your son celebrate Valentine's Day. I'm sure he will appreciate your help. My girlfriend does not like Valentine's Day, as she thinks it is too commercialized. Why should we only have one day of the year to profess our love to our partner? Every day should be Valentine's Day. Anyway, we are still celebrating it, but I am cooking her a nice homemade meal tonight. I already buy her flowers on a weekly basis, so I won't be buying flowers and chocolates and sweets and heart-shaped gifts and all that other stuff. Just a quiet romantic day together.

@Nevena83 I try to treat every day like Valentines Day. I want my girl to know how special she is all the time, not just one day out of the year.

Oh, I don't know how much he appreciates that, but I hope that one day he will remember all that. I agree with your girlfriend. I want my man to be attentive to me every day.

I just saw your masterpiece! Yours look just as good. We are celebrating in Vermont this year by picking up a special dinner from a wonderful restaurant not far from our son’s ski house.

Thank you. I believe that next time I would look better, but I did it for the first time, so I won't be very critical. I believe you will have a wonderful dinner.

Saint Trifun, I never celebrate a holiday to honor a saint. We will display love between me and my husband, as we always do.

@Nevena83 We never honor saints, only the Lord Jesus Christ who was God in the flesh.

@kobesbuddy Orthodox people respect many saints here, sometimes by not working hard in the fields or eating fasting food that day.

Yes, it is interesting for young people here, and the prices of gifts are very high then.

We don't celebrate the day either as it wasn't around when we were growing up. It all seems a bit too commercialised for us oldies. But I'm happy and pleased that others celebrate it. I look forward to seeing your masterpiece.
