So,today is Valentines'. But unfortunately got lotsa work to do so can't go out.

So, here are some interesting facts about Valentine you probably never heard of.

  • 1.Teachers receive the most Valentine's Day cards, followed by children, mothers, wives, and then, sweethearts. Children between ages 6 to 10 exchange more than 650 million Valentine's cards with teachers, classmates, and family members.

2.In the Middle Ages young men and women drew the names from a bowl to see who would be their Valentine. They would wear this name pinned on their sleeves for one week. This was done so that it becomes easy for other people to know your true feelings. This was known as "to wear your heart on your sleeve".

3.On February 14th wooden love spoons were carved and given as gifts on Valentine’s Day in Wales. Hearts, keys and keyholes were favorite Valentine decorations on the wooden spoons. This Valentine decoration meant, "You unlock my heart!"

4.Some people used to believe that if a woman saw a robin flying overhead on Valentine's Day, it meant that she would marry a sailor. If she saw a sparrow, she would marry a poor man and be very happy. If she saw a goldfinch, she would marry a millionaire. (Ideal day to go to the bird park.)

5.The Chocolate Manufacturer's Association of America says that 36 million boxes of chocolate are sold for Valentine's Day. (Hungry..)

6.Around 3% of pet owners prefer to give Valentine gifts to their pets, as they are more grateful than humans! (???)

Have a great Valentines Day,Byes
