Valentine's Day
Romantic February holiday
Valentine's Day is February 14th, a holiday celebrating romantic love and affection.
Couples exchange cards, flowers, chocolates, and gifts; the holiday takes its name from Saint Valentine, an early Christian martyr whose connection to romance is murky at best.
The day has expanded beyond romantic partners to include expressions of affection among friends, family, and schoolchildren who exchange small cards.
I got her roses for Valentine's Day.
