Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day is a holiday celebrated on February 14. It is the traditional day on which lovers express their love for each other; sending Valentine's cards, or offering candy. It is very common to present flowers on Valentine's Day.

The day is most closely associated with the mutual exchange of love notes in the form of "valentines." Modern Valentine symbols include the heart-shaped outline and the figure of the winged Cupid. Since the 19th century, handwritten notes have largely given way to mass-produced greeting cards. The mid-nineteenth century Valentine's Day trade was a harbinger of further commercialized holidays in the United States to follow. The U.S. Greeting Card Association estimates that approximately one billion valentines are sent each year worldwide, making the day the second largest card-sending holiday of the year behind Christmas. The association estimates that women purchase approximately 85 percent of all valentines.

What nice things are you doing for your family today?

You can make a valentine for your family and I'll print it out for you!!

I am going to help around the house and I might go to my cousins house or they might come over. It might be a lot of people or there might not be a lot of people. They are one of our closest cousins and we see them almost every weak.

Today I'm taking my mom to Olive Garden. She got my the most silly Valintines Day prestent ever. It is The Simpsons Valintine Boxers. On the back, they say, "will you be mine." I really never liked Valintines Day, but when I get home I get more relaxed.

Aaron said...

I might go out to dinner with my family. And then give them a suprise that I got for them. Mabey later I will make them some hot chocolate and desert. After that I'll let them rest and watch T.V. That's most likely what I'm gonna do with my valitine's day.
