Happy Valentine’s Day from Hattingdon & Co. As you can see, Hattingdon is wearing her Aimee hat in pure red with white x’s and o’s representing hugs and kisses.
“It’s pretty common knowledge that XOXO means ‘hugs and kisses.’ As Dictionary.com defines it, the phrase is generally thought of as a “lighthearted way of expressing affection, sincerity, or deep friendship.”
The X represents a kiss, while the O represents a hug. This is most likely because the X is a stylized way of showing two mouths kissing, and the O looks like two pairs of arms connecting for a hug.
While XOXO is a symbol of love, it’s not always meant to be taken as a symbol of undying passion. XOXO is just as appropriate to use as an email sign-off to a friend as it is to use to sign an anniversary card to a significant other.
How about a bit of verse? Most of us are familiar with the following. Short and sweet and you know from whence it came, right?
Roses are red Violets are blue, Sugar is sweet And so are you.
A rhyme similar to the modern standard version can be found in Gammer Gurton’s Garland, a 1784 collection of English nursery rhymes published in London by Joseph Johnson:
The rose is red, the violet’s blue, The honey’s sweet, and so are you. Thou art my love and I am thine; I drew thee to my Valentine: The lot was cast and then I knew, That Fortune said it shou’d be you.
In the depths of winter’s icy reign, January comes, fresh and untamed. A new year begins, a chance to renew, Leaving behind the old for the new.
With hearts warm, we gather near, Welcoming the day with hope and cheer. Through frost and chill, we take the time, To treasure moments and lessons find.
Resolutions form from looking within, Goals to strive for, dreams to begin. With pen in hand, our plans take shape, Fueling our hearts to celebrate.
January’s a time to start anew, A chance to build, a chance to pursue. With hope as our guide, we boldly face, The triumphs ahead, each step embraced.
So, let us cherish this special day, In January’s light, let hope stay. The past is behind, the future is clear, In January, we find strength for the year.
Each morning brings promise, each day a gift, Through trials and triumphs, our spirits lift. With courage and faith, we pave the way, Creating a year of joy each day.
