It's the sweetest time of the year....
Sweet little heart decorations
and love birds
Little signs
to show how you feel
In Great Britain,
Valentine's Day began to be
popularly celebrated
around the seventeenth century.
By the middle of the eighteenth century,
it was common for friends and lovers in all social classes
to exchange small tokens of affection
or handwritten notes
Americans probably began exchanging
hand-made valentines
in the early 1700s
In the 1840s,
Esther A. Howland began to sell
the first mass-produced valentines in America.
Like those in Great Brittan did in the 17th century...
we prefer to give little hearts, decorations or sweet boxes
instead of sending Valentine Cards....
Maybe it's time to start a new tradition this year!
So tell us....
How do you show the love?
