Just in time for Valentines day, you just know somebody in marketing will be emoting over this..
- xxs 7y agoThe Valentine Day is not a big event at this side of the Atlantic. There is some chance, the marketing has caught up with the younger generation, though.
- mywacaday 7y agoOut of interest where are you based, valentines day is huge in Ireland & UK?
- krick 7y agoWhich side is "this side"? Valentine's Day is quite prominent in the Europe, even if not as commercialized to the degree it is in Japan, for example.

- intarga 7y agoJust wanted to point out that Valentines day is originally a European tradition.
- xxs 7y agoIndeed, the 'tradition'/origin has the roots somewhere down the Roman Empire, 3rd century. Now it has been commercialized to a high degree. My point was something like: take US holidays grade on the scale 1-10; Christmas 10, Halloween, Thanksgiving Day - 9, 4th of July, New Year - 8.... Valentine's Day - 4, Memorial Day - 2. (not all rated, obviously) Germany - barely registers as anything; Spain, Sweden, Estonia - not a thing at all. There might be promotions, advertising, etc. but it's not an engraved thing for the decision to matter the date/proximity of Valentine's Day.
