Happy St. Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day is named after St. Valentine. History.com has a site that includes video clips about the holiday. One legend is

that the custom of sending Valentines on 14 February stems from the belief that birds begin to pair on that date; by 1477 the English associated lovers with the feast of Valentine because on that day “every bird chooses him a mate.”

There's a pattern at the Family Fun site to make a sweet little heart basket to put Valentine cards in.
