Hope all of you had a very romantic Thanksgiving. Athena and I
continued our gingerbread tradition by making a gingerbread village
this year. We had a great time designing it together, baking it
together, decorating it together, eating it together — just being
together. Isn’t that what it’s all about? — Michael

ANTICIPATION IS MAKING ME WAIT
Have you ever planned a special trip and bought a guidebook
or video about the place you were going to visit and got so excited
by reading about or seeing pictures of where you were heading?
Daily reminders of an upcoming excursion can make one anxious
and eager. Likewise, by sending reminders of a specially planned
event to your sweetheart, you can multiply the anticipation and
enjoyment of the occasion.
If the event is going to be more romantic in nature then think of
some romantic items to entice them with. Roses and pieces of chocolate
smell of romance. On each day about a week before the special
date deliver, mail or hide a piece of chocolate or a single rose or
other romantic token.
If you are poetic, try writing a verse to go along with each daily
gift. If poetry isn’t your strength then write a simple line about how
you are looking forward to this special date or trip you have been
planning. If you use Hershey Kisses, you could replace the little
Hershey’s tag with a thin piece of paper with your message on it.
On one particular date I wanted to make really special, I bought
a dozen roses a week before. Six days before our date I put half a
dozen roses on her desk with a note mentioning I was looking forward
to the grand event in six days. I did the same four days and two days
prior to the date.
A little hype can turn even the most average date into a special
occasion. However, one must be careful not to over-hype an
ordinary date. Otherwise, the date itself may be a let down.
Now if your trip or date is more fun in nature, send something
more festive each day. If it is a birthday party in the works, you
could
send a party hat one day, then birthday candles and a noise maker
and so on.
For those who like to plan mysterious evenings or getaways, try
sending clues throughout the week. An event that is planned well in
advance could be promoted by offering weekly reminders beforehand.
