Happy Valentine’s Day

Happy Valentine’s Day…yes, I said it!!!  I know many people think of Valentine’s day as a made up holiday or a “Hallmark holiday”, and that is just fine and dandy but I happen to like it.  Whether you like the holiday or not, most of us succumb to buying cards, candy and flowers.  According to the History channel, approximately 150 million cards are sent annually coming in second place to Christmas cards.  As a printer, I love any excuse for mass printing and distribution of printed materials.  I think it is a great excuse to tell someone that you love them more than anyone else in the world, that they are your end all and be all.  We actually sell custom greeting cards on  USA Printing Online, so if you missed out on sending Valentine’s cards why not just send cards to friends and loved ones for no reason at all?  I am a huge proponent of sending cards!

Another reason I enjoy Valentine’s Day is it makes me want to listen to my favorite love songs, which vary from year to year and mood to mood.  Billboard has a list of the top 50 love songs of all time, which I guarantee is wildly different than mine, just for fun below is a list of love songs that I am enjoying listening to this year.  Some of them are happy, and some quite sad but isn’t life?  Some days are happier and some are just plain sad.
