Fascinating Fact Friday
Awww, Valentine's Day. It's this Sunday, already. I thought It would be fun to give you a few facts about the most romantic day of the year. Now you have something to talk about with your honey over a beautiful, romantic, candlelit dinner.
- Verona, the Italian city where Shakespeare's play characters Romeo and Juliet lived, Juliet receives about 1,000 love letters every year on Valentine's Day.
- After Christmas, Valentine's day is the single largest seasonal card-sending occasion.
- The red rose was a favorite flower of Venus, the Roman goddess of love. Sine red stands for strong feelings, red rose is a flower of love, yellow is for friendship.
- The first Valentine's Day box of chocolates was introduced by Richard Cadbury in 1868.
Yeah, all that candlelit jibber up top, not happening here. How 'bout in your house? Do you have a big night planned, gifts, cards?
Hope your day is full of beautiful red roses... or yellow.
