Please read the
instructions very carefully...all the way down.;-)
Since this is a holiday not
celebrated everywhere in the world, we should try to express something
special and/or traditional about Valentine's Day to show the world how
we now celebrate, using February/early winter kigo and/or meaningful
themes of celebration...our cupids, paper hearts from school,
presents of wonderful chocolates and of course flowers and messages
of sweet love.
