As a follow up to our discussion vis a vis Valentine's Day as a holiday for children, I thought I would share with you the information that the Livingston Senior, Youth and Leisure Services Department, the recreation department of my local town, has just sent me an email to alert me to the fact that they are holding a Valentine's Dance for all Livingston children in grades K-5 and their parents. Kids get to bring mom or dad as their date. There will be DJ entertainment, a hot buffet dinner, cold refreshments, party favors and "many special moments for you to share with your loved ones", even special couples dances. Also present will be a professional photographer who will be available to take family portraits at an additional fee. I think this is an interesting illumination of how a holiday that is traditionally associated with romantic love has become a holiday for children. But still with romantic overtones! Mom or Dad as date, special couples dances? Devon
