Saint Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day is celebrated on February 14. It is a festival of romantic love and many people give cards, letters, flowers or presents to their partners. Common symbols of Valentine's Day are hearts, red roses and Cupid.

 

Many people celebrate their love for their partner by sending cards or letters, giving gifts or flowers and arranging meals in restaurants or romantic nights in hotels. Valentine's cards are often decorated with images of hearts, red roses or Cupid. Saint Valentine's Day gifts are flowers chocolates, candy, lingerie and champagne or sparkling wine. However, some people use the occasion to present lavish gifts, such as jewellery.

I never celebrate this day because I never had a boyfriend. I saw the other people how gave away presents and things between them, and for them it was a special day, but for me not. This day for me it had little sense until today. Now I have very excited as I have boyfriend since the next July.

 

In my occasion, my boyfriend stayed very far and we didn't look these day. But for my, the romantic day was the same if he stayed in here. When I returned to home, after the school, I found a very big bunch. I was really excited because I didn't expect it. I never had a bunch and it was very beautiful. Also there was a bracelet with my name and our date.

However I sent him one book made for me with our things, a sweatshirt and also a picture of us framed with a heart shaped frame. All was very romantic.

This day for me, was a very wonderful and fabulous.

Some people from Catalonia don’t celebrate Valentine’s day because we have our love patron. It is Sant Jordi and it’s on 23 April. It’s common to present the boys with books and the girls with red roses in honour to the blood that the dragon shed when Sant Jordi kill the animal.

It doesn’t matter if you celebrated it on February or on April is a special day when the lovers offer their love to other lovers. These days supplies other black days when wars starts or tragic events occur.

We have to celebrate good events to remember the best of the human behaviour.
