Ruby Valentine Save the Day

Ruby Valentine Saves the Day

 by Laurie B. Friedman

Summary: Ruby invites everyone to a grand Valentine's Day party at her mountaintop home, but when a blizzard keeps her guests away, she decides to take the carefully planned party into town.

This is a precious Valentine’s Day story. The moral of the story is that a party is what you make it, in the moment. An adult may discuss with children how even well-thought out plans do not always work out the way we expect. Is it more important to have your vision of a party implemented or have a great time with the people you care about? The people have fun doing simple activities and with things of no monetary value; and adult may discuss with a children fun things they may do without money. Discussing simply that driving in the snow in not always safe is appropriate as well.
