Friends

There's a slight variation for Valentine's Day in Mexico. Yes, just like everywhere else, it's impossible to get a table anywhere and people get whiny about not having someone, and people who do get cornier than usual. But we also celebrate friendship - it's, literally, "The Day of Love and Friendship". So your friends and loved ones give you chocolates too - nobody eats alone or is deprived of the celebration. And I think that's special - after all, friends are there when relationships start and when they end and in every bit in-between... so they deserve a LOT of credit and love too.

This is the way I've always celebrated it, and I shall continue to do so. So for all of you wherever you are, Happy Love and Frienship Day!!! :D
