We had paper bags taped to the back of our chairs, and put the cards in them. It was so fun and everyone had fun together reading them.

I was an extremely quiet and shy kid and had buck teeth before braces so I was called names and picked on as well. I never dated ever but I had my little group of friends like me so I got through it.<br /><br />Have a wonderful day!Lady Caer Morgannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13796460571657156516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1310700715747991260.post-48641452283441561352019-02-12T06:49:56.631-08:002019-02-12T06:49:56.631-08:00That was great the way you did the Valentine's...That was great the way you did the Valentine's cards when you were in school. Ours wasn't like that. We wrote out cards for our fellow students and in the afternoon handed them out. Sadly, there were some who got plenty of cards, some who got some, and one person who would have gotten none if I hadn't written one out for her. Actually, I wasn't too far behind her in the card department. I was one of those lonely children who were picked on.mxtodis123https://www.blogger.com/profile/13583200601379394225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1310700715747991260.post-12030494941135720642019-02-12T06:41:18.604-08:002019-02-12T06:41:18.604-08:00Thank you for sharing this cool historical info, C...Thank you for sharing this cool historical info, CJ! I love learning the history of our holidays - both ancient and contemporary. <br /><br />And no, you do not sound like a Valentine's Grinch at all<br /> - you are quite correct about how much harder it gets to be innovative and different as time passes.

She had seen paper and lace creations in England and thought she could make them prettier. And she did. Hired people to help her make one of a kind valentines and started the New England Valentine Co. We also had to have a valentine for each classmate. We decorated old shoe boxes or empty tissue boxes to look like a valentine mailbox. Then we would be allowed to go around the classroom delivering our valentines to everyone. Beyond elementary school, it's a tough holiday if you're single. Even for couples the burden of trying to pick another gift, or a special dinner or outing. Oh, dear. I sound like a Valentine's Grinch. :-DCJ Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14931779747826558608noreply@blogger.com
