Valentine's Day is even celebrated by school children who give thank you cards to their teachers. Some high schools have Valentine's Day dances. Classmates give each other little cards These cards can be purchased at any store with famous cartoon characters. It is considered much more thoughtful to have kids make handmade cards to give to friends and teachers.

However, you don't have to be in love to share in the festivities. You can say "Happy Valentine's Day to friends and co-workers. Valentine's Day is not an official holiday though in the U.S., meaning government offices and schools are open as usual. The date used to be the celebration of a Saint named Valentine who allegedly saved a young girl's life. It wasn't until the Middle Ages that romance somehow got mixed in with the date and lovers would send each other handwritten love notes. Back then you couldn't just go to the store and buy a card the way you can now.
