Different cultures have different ways of celebrating Valentine's Day. In Scotland, the first random man or woman that a person sees on the street becomes their valentine. In India, Valentine's Day festivals are a week long. Celebrations in South Africa are also the same length, and individuals pin their lover's names to their sleeve. People in Britain write sonnets and verses to each other, and they exchange love letters in France.
　　Just like there is more than one way to celebrate love, there is also more than one day to honor the occasion. Many countries have their own version of Valentine's Day. In Asia for example, Chinese Lover's Day falls on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month. It is sometimes called the Qixi Festival. The holiday is based on a romantic story about the annual meeting of a boy and a girl in Chinese mythology. Also in Asia, White Day is celebrated, although it is most popular in Japan. On March 14, men are expected to give women presents equaling three times the cost of the Valentine's Day gifts they got a month earlier. Wherever you are in the world, don't wait a single day to tell someone you need them in your life because love should be celebrated every day.
