Hi, a mexican lurker here; we do celebrate Valentine's Day. Today I 
received A LOT of heart-shaped chocolates and candies and some roses 
from my third grade students. I gave them guess what? Harry Potter 
Valentine's cards (which they loved). We have a lot of Valentine's 
merchandise, especially in the north part of the country.
