It is a festival of romantic love and many people give cards, letters, flowers or presents to their spouse or partner. They may also arrange a romantic meal in a restaurant or night in a hotel. Common symbols of Valentine's Day are hearts, red roses and Cupid.
My Valentine´s Day was really sad, because I spent it alone seeing lots of people making nice presents to each other. I haven´t found my Valentine yet.

ResponderEliminarAs every year, Valentine's Day will be celebrated on February 14th. It is a day in which not everyone agrees. It does not matter if they are happily married or single: some hate this day, others love it. Many couples love to celebrate their relationship in a particularly romantic way, but most avoid it because it has no partner, I on Valentine's Day went to eat at my boyfriend's house and gave him a colony.
ResponderEliminarFebruary 14 is Valentine's Day of the State.
ResponderEliminarThe lovers spend this day giving away roses, candy, stuffed animals and other gifts. They also go to have dinner at a restaurant or go to the movies to watch a romantic movie or stay home and they are all the time hugging and kissing.
Valentine's Day is silly since you can give gifts to your girlfriend or your boyfriend any day you want and it does not have to be only on one specific day.
For my Valentine's Day they gave me a rose and I spent all day with my friends. Then I went with my parents and my brothers to the movies to see a movie and we had dinner at my aunt's house with my cousins.
The 14th of February is the State Valentine's Day. This day is very special for many people in particular for people who have a partner, these people usually stay with their partner and give something, a little detail and usually go out to eat together or spend the day together.
ResponderEliminarOn this day people who have business take advantage of it since they usually raise prices in everything and thus have a greater profit since Valentine's Day cannot be postponed, it has to be celebrated on February
