Valentine's Day – A Holiday of

Love and Friendship
Valentine's Day, February 14, is a holiday that
celebrates love and friendship in the United States.
Most people think of it as a romantic day to show the
one you love how much you care by purchasing
cards and gifts. Valentine's Day is also an extremely
commercial holiday. People spend money on flowers,
balloons, chocolate, stuffed animals, and jewelry.
People also go out for expensive dinners. Valentine's
Day is even celebrated by school children, who give
thank-you cards to their teachers. Some high schools
have Valentine's Day dances. Classmates give each
other little cards. These cards can be purchased at
any store with famous cartoon characters. It is
considered much more thoughtful to have kids make
handmade cards to give to friends and teachers.

Valentine's Day is also a great day to announce

your love to someone like a secret crush. Some
people even get married on Valentine's Day.
However, you don't have to be in love to share in the

festivities. You can say "Happy Valentine's Day" to

friends and coworkers.

Valentine's Day is not an official holiday though in

the U.S., meaning government offices and schools
are open as usual. The date used to be the
celebration of a Saint named Valentine who allegedly
saved a young girl's life. It wasn't until the Middle
Ages that romance somehow got mixed in with the
date and lovers would send each other handwritten
love notes. Back then you couldn't just go to the
store and buy a card the way you can now.

You know Valentine's Day is around the corner

when stores begin to decorate with red and pink
hearts and the symbol of Cupid, a winged ancient
Roman god said to strike the hearts of people with
his arrow. Now it seems Cupid goes straight after
your wallet because you will also see many more
jewelry ads as Valentine's Day approaches.
