Does anyone else have those strange, endearing traditions in their family that they’re not sure how they started, but they’ve been doing it forever? My grandparents “thing” was to send me two pieces of bubblegum (yes, two exactly, and yes, had to be bubblegum) in a Valentine’s Day card each year, and as I’ve gotten older, I’ve taken up the tradition as my own.
This year, I decided to create my own simple cards, which gave me extra incentive to get them out on time (verdict: success). Adding the bubblegum inside the card is a small, but special touch (and memory), and since I can’t send out any through the internet, consider this post my virtual bubblegum. Happy Valentine’s Day, from me to you!
