VALENTINE'S DAY TRADITION IN AMERICA
Those who enjoy Valentine's Day may have wonderful memories of this day from elementary school.
In elementary school, if you behave well you might get to make a Valentine's Day mailbox. Then you can
decorate it by colouring it read or pink. Next, you can glue on hearts, cupids, rainbows or flowers. When the
day arrives, the teacher lets you run around filling every mailbox with cards. Most children give one card to
every student and one for the teacher.
Sometimes their parents make them write cards to the nerdy or annoying kids. The most popular cards are
pre-packaged. The characters from Disney movies are most popular, so are sports designs and characters from
cartoons or TV shows, like Power Rangers or the Simpsons.
