Valentine's Day Is the 14th of February
By Sally Brompton

Every year, Valentine's Day is celebrated on the 14th of February in many countries around the world. On this day, many people send cards to their friends, their sweethearts, their spouses, and their parents to show their love and affection. Others send candy and flowers to these loved ones to remind them of their love. The cards usually come in red, white and pink colors, and these cards have images of hearts, flowers and Cupid, the mythological god of love. The people that send gifts on Valentine's Day often send one of these cards along with the gifts.

Valentine's Day has become a day for showing affection to special people. Valentine's Day has also become a day when many men present engagement rings to the woman that they would like to marry. This is a very special day so these men save this special ceremony for this day. The engagement ring presented on Valentine's Day is often accompanied by wrapping paper or a box that has the colors and images of Valentine's Day. This day is often a special day for school children for their teachers and parents prepare parties for them in their classrooms. They decorate with the colors and images of Valentine's Day. The children often exchange cards with their classmates on this special day.

Card Companies Profit on Valentine's Day

The companies who produce cards make great profits on Valentine's Day, and they plan these profits in their budgets. These companies sell millions of cards all around the world. The post offices also make extra money on postage on this day, but the mailmen do not necessarily like this extra burden on their deliveries. The chocolate companies also make more money on Valentine's Day because chocolates are traditionally a great way to express affection for another person. There are millions of extra pounds of chocolate made especially for this day.

Florists also make great profits on Valentine's Day for flowers are also a traditional favorite gift on this day. The florists order and prepare millions of bouquets and flower arrangements that people send to those they dearly love. The flowers are often in pinks and reds which are the colors of this special day. Their delivery men might feel the same as the mailmen although these delivery people might get extra tips on this day. Hopefully, everyone enjoys this great day including the mailmen who get some cards, flowers and chocolates of their own.
