My e-mail name is Pear52. Didn't know I was doing it because it was popular. Did it because i AM VERY pear shaped and at the time I was 52 years of age. I'm finally "in"!!!! LOL

I guess no one would get it if we sent them pear cards for congratulations when they are expecting!! I love the new ideas part.

Default Pear symbolism

There's more than fertility -- don't worry.

In Christian art ....
The pear symbolizes Christ's love for mankind.

In Chinese art ...
The pear symbolizes longevity because the tree grows a long time.

I've seen more, but can't find them. I had a customer ask the same question and did a little online research to find these answers.

Fertility. LOL!! I'm staying away from those pears. I've had my tubes tied, but 1 in 300 women will get pregnant with their tubes tied. And with my first I had a placental abruption, guess the odds on that-- 1 in 300. YIKES! And I'm way too fertile.
