Valentine’s Day Porch Decorations
January 27, 2025 2:47 PM   Subscribe

What sweet Valentine’s Day message should I put on my porch? Every year, I hang painted cardboard hearts from my front porch. I also affix letters along my porch railing. For a couple years it’s been ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE, but the letters are wearing out. I can probably squeeze a couple more letters, but 24ish characters is max. The rest of the year, my porch is covered in pretty serious leftist signage, so I’d like February to be a bit lighter in tone.

I'm always a fan of 'love your neighbor' because it's hard to argue with but also includes neighbors who are not feeling a lot of love these days.

(edited to add: cute house!)

I'm very into the quote from teleri025's dad in this AskMe thread today:
"Nobody knows what's in your heart or your head until you act on it."

OK, so a short version: "SHOW LOVE BY ACTION" or "MAKE LOVE VISIBLE" or "WE NEED TO SEE LOVE" or "LOVE IS ACTION".

Is "Love is Love is Love" a la Lin-Manuel Miranda too left-leaning for you?

If you're in a wintery area, there's always, "Cold hands, warm heart."

phunnimee's "droll" response is probably my fave.

If you want a really deep cut that only maybe 1-2 passerby will get, you could do U + ME = US.
