When I was young, there was no #Valentine day where I live. First time I heard about it was when my then-girlfriend (from another country) was totally vexed when she did not get anything from me that day. I had never heard of it. Big trouble! 😂 I think it was introduced here by the flower and chocolate industries (during the 1980s or 1990s?). From my point of view, a purely commercial event. Sorry, folks, I don't participate. Fortunately, my wife is also from a country without that tradition.
