Somewhere between March and April in the calendar year, Christians across the world, start getting ready for Easter Sunday. A quarter of a year after celebrating the birth of the messiah, Jesus Christ, the time comes to celebrate his resurrection.

Easter is a time for new beginnings, for starting afresh and leaving the past behind. Easter Sunday is celebrated throughout the Christian world for being the day on which Jesus Christ rose up from the dead three days after he had been crucified. This was the day on which Christians realized that “the Lord is come”. However, the celebration of Easter dates back to a time predating the life of Jesus Christ.

Originally, the Pagans celebrated the coming of spring on the day of the vernal equinox when day and night were of equal length. In those ancient times, the Anglo-Saxons had a Goddess of spring, Eostre, who was worshipped to signal the departure of winter and the arrival of spring and sunny skies.

The term “Easter” came from the name of this Goddess because Christian missionaries who had taken upon themselves to convert people and lead them to God’s grace needed a common terminology in order to connect with the people. Thus, the Pagan spring festival was given a Christian coloring, which persists to this date.

Whether your relationship is a day old or a decade old, getting away for Valentine’s Day might be just the ticket. Luckily, there are dozens of choices no matter where you live.

In the colder climates, nothing is more romantic than a snow bound lodge with a roaring fire. Put your feet up, clink two glasses of wine together and toast your good fortune at finding one another.

Vermont and other popular ski areas provide ample space to accommodate couples for Valentine’s Day. Cabins range from isolated, one-room buildings to a cozy 10 ft x 12 ft room in a huge, multi-guest lodge. Some packages include skiing. Some are designed specifically for those who just want to laze about and gaze into one another’s eyes.

Warmer climes may not offer the traditional winter look, but they can be just as romantic. After all, February 14th is the middle of summer below the equator. Sign up for a cruise to the Bahamas and make Valentine’s Day something to remember forever.

On the ship, couples will get special treatment. Rooms can be made up in style to celebrate this unique holiday. Romantic candlelight dinners for two are available. Then you can both hit the tables for a little gambling. After all, you rolled the dice in love and won, didn’t you?

The American Greeting Card Association estimates that over a billion Valentine’s Day cards are given every year on February 14th. But the celebration of this day dedicated to love goes back centuries earlier. During the time of Chaucer in the 14th century love became almost an obsession. But, hey, could there be anything more worthwhile to be obsessed about?

Love steals over all of us in one form or another. And delighted about the fact we are, too. To really celebrate that fact, though, it’s never a bad idea to give it some material form. Actions speak louder than words, the old saying goes.

That action could be something as simple as making your own Valentine’s Day card. You did when you were in elementary school. You can do it again. Luckily, your efforts don’t really need to be any better than they were then. But you also have modern computers, the Internet and scrapbooking templates to help out if you want.

The key is to personalize your gift for that special someone. That way, they know you’re thinking of them and not mass producing. That’s okay for Hallmark, but you should not follow their example.

Personalizing can take the form of having a watch inscribed with a name and pithy phrase. You could have their initials or yours! stitched onto a beautiful leather wristband. Jewelry is always a big hit, too. Get a birthstone to show that at least you know what month he or she was born.

Don’t forget about the wine. This beverage is more than just a liquid to quench thirst. It creates one… a thirst for love, that is one that can only be satisfied by your Valentine. Look for something exotic, unique, individual from around the world. Just like your Valentine.

Go beyond giving a gift, whether chocolates, flowers or anything else. Don’t stop at giving a photo frame with the picture of your last vacation. Actually take one.

It might be something as short as a romantic getaway to a nearby Bed and Breakfast. Or, you could check into a Hotel/Spa for the day and be treated like royalty. Even a romantic dinner at the 4-star hotel you booked a room at can be the perfect capstone of the day. Take along those sexy gifts you bought.

Extend your experience and your celebration to other heart pumping activities. Book a parachute jump and hold hands on the way down. Take a skiing vacation at a local resort, then sit by the fire and toast one another. Hop on a ship for a short cruise to San Francisco, the city of love.

Men will approach Valentine’s Day a little differently than women. Likewise, women will think of it a little different than men. The gifts are different, but the goals should be the same. Celebrate that special person you found. Whether the relationship is a day old or decades old, you still have something new to learn about them. Find out on February 14th.
