Did you know that about one billion Valentines Day cards are exchanged each year?
That makes today the second largest seasonal card sending time of the year.
Fifteen per cent of women send flowers to themselves on Valentines Day.
Three per cent of pet owners will give a gift to their pet today.
And on average, there are 220,000 wedding proposals on this special day each year.
Historically,in the middle ages, young men and women drew names from a bowl to see who would be their valentine.
They would wear the name pinned onto their sleeves for one week for everyone to see. This is the origin of the expression “to wear your heart on your sleeve.”
Just remember, that special someone doesn’t have to be your spouse. You can share a little bit of love with just about anyone today.
Happy Valentines Day!
