But I noticed that all of those cards (Angry Birds, Lego Star Wars, Cars, etc.) include some kind of add-on: an eraser, a lollipop, a temporary tattoo, etc. <br /><br />Is Valentine's Day the new Halloween or the new Easter? How many sugar-filled children's holidays do we need?<br /><br />Also, that is so sweet that you got a necklace from your husband!Lisa Chiuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09750693135688849345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3465676704962896504.post-49374450252268423902014-02-14T11:22:11.778-08:002014-02-14T11:22:11.778-08:00Now you've got me started: my eldest sister...Now you've got me started: my eldest sister's Easter basket had been my great-grandmother's.

I'm bitter about this one.... They used to be such a fun pseudo-surprise on Easter morning, but now the kids will have gotten several baskets from miscellaneous venues or well-meaning people prior to the day. Nobody needs that much candy!<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12943157378359000906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3465676704962896504.post-31060396083424450992014-02-14T11:21:03.900-08:002014-02-14T11:21:03.900-08:00It used to just be between sweethearts. Then kids ...It used to just be between sweethearts. Then kids starting making cards at school for their moms. Then there were the cheap Valentine cards for school distribution. And then, some time in the recent past, kids started to tape candy to said cards. I'd rather they taped quarters or something. ("Recent" being a relative term.) Back to the sweethearts: Roger gave me a lovely necklace this morning. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12943157378359000906noreply@blogger.com
