Valentine’s Day is celebrated in many places all around the world. As in China, they celebrate it by romantic gift exchanges and special spontaneous dates. Yet, China doesn’t call it Valentine’s Day, for them it’s known as “Qixi Festival” which means “The night of the seven”, which takes place in early August on the seventh lunar month. This tradition has been looked back on an old ancestral story that has passed down generations and generations. On the other hand, Argentina’s traditions celebrate Valentine’s Day in two ways. They celebrate Valentine’s day the 14th of February but in addition,  take a week in July called “sweetness week” that is similar to Valentine’s Day that includes the same traditions and exchanges with one another. Lots of people have different ways they celebrate Valentine’s Day but it’s important to realize everyone takes this day to spread love to make everyone feel happy, untroubled, and carefree at the end of the day.

On Valentine’s Day, there are many things that you can do to express your feelings for your significant other. One thing you can do is cook dinner together or bake sweet treats. Cooking dinner together is way cheaper than going out to a restaurant. You will also have a great time laughing and enjoying each other’s company. Couples can also watch a movie together. Watching movies or playing games is another fun thing to do on Valentine’s Day. Having a game night can be fun because you’ll have lots of laughs trying to compete against one another.

The meaning of Valentine’s Day is interpreted in many different ways but I’m sure we can all agree that love is the thought in everyone’s mind. Around the world, people celebrate Valentine’s day at different times and may have other traditions. Yet, they all commonly share the goal to give happiness to the person that has a place in their heart.
