Hi All,

One USA / UK difference I've noticed is the kid element. While in 
the UK kids did join in, it was mainly a between lovers (or 
hopefuls) celebration. Here (USA) it's a really big with kids: class 
parties, loads and loads of cards and candies, presents for mom and 
dad, etc. The kids make cards for everyone in their class.

In Russia, isn't February 14 St. Cyrils day too - the guy who 
invented the Russian alphabet so that he could translate the 
scriptures?

   Cheers,


   Dumbledad.
