Post #15- Saint Valentine Day

          Today is a great day because was a casual day in school and a special reason to recognize the friendship of all the people that I admire. Chocolates, roses, and gifts are the symbol of gratitute to all the people that we love. I reflex about this special day and how impact every person feeling and traditions. In my times a good gift is about brand or how big is the gift. We have been part of economical changes and the newspaper and the Television promotes the commercialization for this special day.  I have heard about my grandfathers and grandmothers that Saint Valentine in their times was simple. They took a little time to write a letter to express from their heart what they feel and how glad were them with the companion of their friends and family. The dinner was the complement and celebration in each house for special moment to be all together. Each neighbor used this moment to share food and take a little time to talk with the neighborhood. This tradition probably created a great bond between the people and promoted the family values that we really need in our times.  My present time is special but I want to conserve also the tradition of the past. Our families need to have more time together and recognize that Saint Valentine means union for all of us.
