  2. Facts about valentine’s day • Saint Valentine's Dayis an annual holiday held on February 14. It is traditionally a day on which lovers express their love for each other by presenting flowers, offering confectionery, and sending greeting cards (known as "valentines").

  3. Older tradition • 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 .

  4. Short poems • Plenty of love Plenty of love Tons of kisses Hope some day To be your Mrs . • Roses are red Roses are red Violets are blue Carnations are sweet And so are you . And so are they That send you this And when we meet We’ll have a kiss .

  5. valentine's Day is mentioned ruefully by Ophelia in hamlet (1600-1601) • To-morrow is Saint Valentine's day,All in the morning betime,And I a maid at your window,To be your Valentine.Then up he rose, and donn'd his clothes,And dupp'd the chamber-door;Let in the maid, that out a maidNever departed more. • —William Shakespeare , Hamlet, Act IV, Scene 5
