Beloved Highlanders,
Happy Valentine's Day! After centuries of celebrating this romantic holiday, it is time again to whip out the pink clothes and spend some serious time in the candy aisle at Martin's. According to the National Confectioners Association, Americans will be dishing out about a billion dollars for candy and about 75% of that sweet stuff will be in chocolate form. In addition, 190 million greeting cards will be exchanged (not including the cardboard Taylor Swift nes distributed in classrooms across the country.) Some historical tid-bits? The first Valentine's Day card was actually sent from the Tower of London, but the practice didn't gain significant popularity until the Revolutionary War. As for the sweet stuff, chocolate has been linked to romance since the days of the Aztec Empire, when the semi-sketchy emperor Montezuma declared it to have special, seductive powers. Regardless of your personal history with the Day, this time of year does promise to be one of tasty treats and a little extra love. If you're looking to tap into that kind of goodness, check out what uncan Hall has going n in the next few weeks.
