[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 648955, member: 14557"] Around here Valentine's Day is both considered American silliness and also reworked to be a day to celebrate friendship :D As you probably guessed, we do not do romance in my culture, not much at least. Or not at least with big gestures or big words. In fact we have a joke about old married couple: Wife seemed bit bothered all day and at the evening finally said to her husband that it would be nice if he every now and then would tell her that he loved her. Husband was quiet for long time and then answered: "I told you I love you once 58 years ago before we got engaged. I will tell you if that changes. That should be enough!" The joke may be a bit exaggerated, I mean, I'm sure that for example I have mentioned to my husband that I'm kind of attached to him at least once or twice or maybe even thrice during the last year and he has maybe also mentioned something that would imply he may like me during last year or two, but we are not too big on romantic gestures or words. This year we however did do something Valentine's Day related: We were working on the Valentine's Day's skating event in local ice rink to help local sport club in fundraising. I was selling coffee and hot chocolate in the kiosk and my husband was was selling tickets elsewhere ;) [/QUOTE]
