Valentine’s Day is a day set aside to celebrate love and it’s for this reason that some choose to show extra love and affection to their loved ones. Appreciation and love cards will be shared among family members, friends and lovers. Upholding Valentine’s traditions such as surprise dinner dates, gate-away trips, roses and exchange of gifts are very important to these people. You might get away with not being there for your partner at some other random point in time but not on this particular day. Red is the color associated with romance and hence it is used as a symbol of love on this special day.
