When birthdays roll around, I believe in celebrating for all the weeks prior to the special day and all the days afterward, until the month is over.
The same goes for holidays. Their celebration can be stretched well past the special day. For example, even though Valentine's Day fell on a Sunday, the 14th of this month, its spirit of love and joy can be carried out through the rest of the month.

All the Valentine cards received are taped to a doorway in the hall. A beautiful bouquet of flowers, a gift from my husband, adorns the kitchen table. The table, itself, looks like a great big Valentine.
First, on went a red tablecloth. A white crocheted cloth was draped on top of the red. The double effect looks very festive.
A rosebud heart-shaped wreath is on the wall in the kitchen and a white crocheted heart with a bright, red ribbon hangs from a door.

Holidays are special times that bring smiles and good feelings. The longer we stetch their celebration, the better!
What's your favorite holiday?
