About Valentine's Day: Spend this Valentine's Day showing your significant other that you care by sending flowers, a personalized Valentine's Card, or candy. This American tradition can be traced back to ancient Christian and Roman times, celebrating the martyr Saint Valentine. Young men used to take lottery tickets at the Roman festival of Lupercalia to determine which girl would be their valentine. During Medieval times, girls often ate bizarre foods on Valentine's Day in order to make themselves dream of their future spouses.
Today, people participate in a variety of traditions and customs to show their love and affection. Romantic dinners, presents, and weekend getaways (one of my favorites) top the list.
On the flip side, Valentine's Day is one of the few holidays that has generated quite the opposition. There's a huge group of people who are vocally against Valentine's Day and celebrate the Anti-Valentine's Day. Those are often people who think Valentine's Day is too commercial or too cheesy or maybe they're just bitter. Want in on the fun? Send an anti-Valentine's Day eCard to celebrate!
Have a Sweet Day!
xoxo,
