Valentine's Day

It was Valentine's Day yesterday. We got some candy from our students, which makes us very happy. I believe we might gain weight this month.

I read somewhere that Valentine's Day in the US was started by a card company. Who started Valentine's Day in Japan? I assume it was a chocolate company, since Japanese women always give chocolate. I also wonder about White Day. There's no White Day in the US, since men and women all give each other presents on Valentine's Day. I guess we don't need White Day. Maybe someday Japanese people will stop celebrating White Day too... but I bet the candy companies won't like that!
