This outpouring of affection is not limited to lovers. In effect, it is a day to celebrate affection for friends and family members, to show those close to us how important they are to us. Mexico A number of Mexico traditions survive with remarkable tenacity. The custom of serenading your loved one is rooted in the sweet and harmonious side of Mexican culture. At night, the suitor visits his beloved's home with a group of musicians. They sing love songs until she comes out to receive her suitor. If she fails to appear, she has rejected his suit. Britain The custom of expressing affection through gifts on Feb. 14 has reached unheard-of levels of commercialism in Britain. In 2001, the British bought 6 million roses and 22 million cards for Valentine's Day. The figure is astounding, if you consider that Britain's population is approximately 60 million. For British lovers who "want to eat" their partner, the London-based sculptor Arriguchi offers a special Valentine's service: a sculpture of your lover in chocolate. The price: $236.
