Valentine’s Traditions |
Hundreds
of years ago in England, many children dressed as adults on Valentine’s Day.
They went singing from home to home. |
Good
morning to you, valentine; Curl
your locks as I do mine- Two
before and three behind. Good
morning to you, valentine.

In
Wales wooden love spoons were carved and given as gift on February 14th.
Hearts, keys, and keyholes were carved decorations on the spoons. The
decoration meant, “You
unlock my heart!” |
In
Britain
people spend 22 million on Valentine’s Day, with traditionally romantic people
buying 7 million red roses! (Not all in the same bunch of course!)
