Valentine's Day
Hi and welcome to Toni Taddeo's Tuesday 4.
Happy Valentine's Day!
$24 billion dollars are spent on Valentines Day gifts! 145 million cards are sent out and the average spent on gifts is $197.50 per person.
1. As a kid did you exchange Valentines at school with the other children? Yes, we did. We'd take a shoe box and decorate it and then everyone would walk around put the cards in everyones' "mailbox."
2. Do you have special traditions for the day or does it pass on without much hoopla? We do no hoopla. Our anniversary is the 18th and that's when we do whatever hoopla that may be done.
3 Today is the number one top day for flower and candy gifts. The only other holidays that approach it are Christmas and Chanukah. Do you ever receive candy , jewelry or flowers for the day? No, not typically. Which is your favorite? Candy. I like the others too, but candy costs less and it's the thought that counts to me. But again, we wish each other a Happy Valentines and just spend the day together.
4. Zoos and Pet rescues will name cockroaches or unpleasant animals after your ex and issue you a certificate. They will even write your ex's name in cat litter for you. What do you think of this "tradition"? Never heard of it and I wouldn't want to do that to anyone.
You can get the questions link up here to participate. Thanks for visiting and Happy Valentine's Day to you!

The shoe box was always fun. Happy Anniversary! I love the dark chocolate hearts w/peanut butter from See's. #4 is just weird. I would never do that. Hope you have a lovely day today.
ReplyDeleteThank you Debby and Happy Valentine's Day!
DeleteI remember those grade school Valentine's! Good times! We're going out for an early supper with good friends, but otherwise we don't celebrate the day. I love animal rescues, but this one is just plain cruel. I wonder how they'd feel if someone did that to them.
ReplyDeleteVery strange for sure! Enjoy your dinner with friends. Happy Valentine
DeleteI think Blogger may have eaten my earlier comment. Just in case, I hope you and Tracy are enjoying a Happy Valentine's Day!
ReplyDeleteFor some reason it throws some comments in spam and even my own comments get thrown in too. So weird. No idea why.
DeleteHappy Valentine's Day Cathy!
