National Love Note Day – September 26, 2022 , history significance why we celebrate
Love Note Day is celebrated on September 26 every year and it is the one day where you get to channel your inner Victorian lover and send warm, heartfelt love notes to your partner! It doesn’t have to be National Boyfriend Day or Valentine’s Day to make someone you love feel special.
It is a chance to convey your deepest emotions by writing down how much they mean to you and sending it to your lover in a scented envelope or an email. If you are not usually the wordy romantic type, then take this day as an opportunity to be a little cheesy. Even a plain “I love you” can make your partner feel happy and loved.
History of National Love Note Day
The origin and history of National Love Note Day are anonymous. However, the celebration of the day is in every way important to those who have lots of love and affection towards another. Love Note Day is the perfect day to write your sincere thoughts to another person.
Your love note can be short, long, poetry, or prose as it varies from each person. A love note need not always be romantic poetry and needs a fancy language to attract rather it can be your own words that may express your deep feelings.
Even a simple I Love You will bring a smile on your loved ones’ faces. A love note is usually a written format and now it can even be sent through the eCards through email. Place your notes anywhere like in the cupboard, fridge, or somewhere they often use.
It is the perfect day to share your love and how much important that person is in your life. With the modern communication tools, Love notes are becoming extinct and hence this day aims in bringing back the old form.
