According to Wikipedia, “Valentine’s Day or Saint Valentine’s Day is a holiday celebrated on February 14 by many people throughout the world. In the English-speaking countries, it is the traditional day on which lovers express their love for each other by sending Valentine’s cards, presenting flowers, or offering confectionery. The holiday is named after two among the numerous Early Christian martyrs named Valentine. The day became associated with romantic love in the circle of Geoffrey Chaucer in the High Middle Ages, when the tradition of courtly love flourished.”
And Wikipedia goes on to say, “The day is most closely associated with the mutual exchange of love notes in the form of “valentines”.  Modern Valentine symbols include the heart-shaped outline, doves, and the figure of the winged Cupid. Since the 19th century, handwritten notes have largely given way to mass-produced greeting cards. The sending of Valentines was a fashion in nineteenth-century Great Britain, and, in 1847, Esther Howland developed a successful business in her Worcester, Massachusetts home with hand-made Valentine cards based on British models. The popularity of Valentine cards in 19th century America, where many Valentine cards are now general greeting cards rather than declarations of love, was a harbinger of the future commercialization of holidays in the United States. It’s considered one of the Hallmark holidays.”

It’s not a surprise that worldwide, it’s estimated that one billion Valentines are mailed annually. Just behind Christmas card distribution, Valentine’s day is the second highest in terms of card distribution.  So, ladies and gentleman, here’s your opportunity to make your Valentine’s heart beat just a little faster with a gift of a “suite” heart deal in one of the Holden House’ beautifully appointed guest rooms, each complete with a luxurious bubble bath tub for two and fireplace.
