Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day here is a lot like Halloween.  It is not a traditional Danish holiday but it grows a bit each year.  The schools don't have parties, the advertising fliers dedicate only a page or two to flowers and gifts, and the stores have a small selection of cards and novelties tucked away.

These are traditional Danish Christmas hearts, but we had fun making them into Valentine's Day cards.  It is a little addictive, so I checked out the book, "How My Mother Taught Me To Weave Christmas Hearts," by Knud Vægter.
