They made their appearance in the U.S. around 1847. The Valentine then evolved into what it is today. The tradition of Valentine's Day has not only traveled to Great Britain and the United States. All around the world, people celebrate this day with their loved ones, though the way it is celebrated varies a little from country to country. In Denmark, people swap, with their friends and loved ones, pressed white flowers, called snowdrops.
Some people even send silly notes, called gaekkebrev, to each other.
The sender signs his or her name in dots. If the receiver can guess the name of the receiver, they will get a candy Easter egg. Whatever country you are in, Feb. 14 seems to mark one of the most romantic days of the year. Change some Valentine's history this year, and do something non-traditional for that someone special.
