DID YOU KNOW?
Valentine’s Day is known to be celebrated in at least 5 countries – The United States, The United Kingdom, Canada, Mexico, and Australia. It is believed that Valentine’s Day began to be celebrated in Great Britain around the 17th century.
As the celebration grew, it became common for people of all social classes to begin to exchange hand written notes and tokens of affection be the middle of the 18th century. With the expansion in printing technology, it became more common for people to begin sharing printed cards in the 1900’s.
Don’t forget to tell the people in your life how much they mean to you – and not just on Valentine’s Day.
Happy Valentine’s Day!
