Vamlumtime's Day

Remind someone they are loved today. Give your roommate some candy. Give a friend a hug. Become a secret admirer. Call your mother. Compliment your professor. Make someone feel wanted. Flirt. Hand out random acts of affection. Kiss in public. Drink champagne. Eat a strawberry. Play in the snow, if it's there. People-watch and admire what makes them human. Write a love poem. Write a love song. Write an ode to imperfection. Play footsie. Tell inside jokes. Dance with someone. Hold hands. Sing together. Laugh together.

Take a day overwhelmed by commercial innundation and make it your own.

FACTS YOU MAY NOT HAVE KNOWN:
~~In Japan, it's women who give chocolate to men on Val-Day, and the gift-giving goes ONLY in that direction. There is a special day later on in the year called White Day where the men reciprocate.
There are two types of Japan gift-chocolate. The most common is "giri-choco", otherwise known as "obligation chocolate." This is what women and girls give to their co-workers, classmates, male friends etc. "Honmei-choco" (or "potential winner chocolate") is more expensive and sometimes homemade, and expresses a deeper affection.
Giving something that has been knitted by the giver is considered one of the highest forms of affection.
~~In the 16- and 1700s, it was considered a token of love for a man to bend a silver coin and give it to a woman. Later on, coins were altered in other ways to express this. Here's an article about it.
