Ok, I'm starting a
little early... but I am just so darn excited!
Every February 14, across the world; candy, flowers and gifts
are exchanged between loved ones, all in the name of St. Valentine. According
to one legend, Valentine actually sent the first "valentine" greeting
himself. While in prison, it is believed that Valentine fell in love with a
young girl (maybe his jailor's daughter) who visited him during his
confinement. Before his death, it is alleged that he wrote her a letter, which
he signed "From your Valentine," an expression that is still in use
today.
Did you know that
approximately 150 million Valentine's Day cards are exchanged annually, making
Valentine's Day the second most popular card-sending holiday after Christmas.
I am such a sucker
for Romance, aren't you?
