Nowadays, people celebrate this event in various ways. For childrens, they usually make their own cards and sometimes they cut a heart-shaped figure from a red paper then they gave it to their parents, teachers and friends. For older students, the most common celebration for this month is through dancing and parties. High school students have their Junior and Seniors Ball or promenade and Valentine's Ball for college students. 

For the year 2010, February 14 is not only for valentine's day but it will also be a celebration of the Chinese new year. 2010 is the year of the tiger and it falls on the same date of the valentines day and ends on the 2nd day of february 2011. It is the 4707 year in the Chinese calendar. Year of the Tiger is also know as Geng Yin, its formal name. The tiger is the third sign in the Chinese zodiac cycle and a sign of bravery. the Chinese believes that it is a sign that keeps away the three main tragedies of a household, which includes fire, thieves and ghosts. Persons who are born on the year of the tiger are ferocious and domineering on the outside, but they are just as noble and distinguished on the inside. Those born on the year of the tiger are compatible with persons who are born on the year of the horse, dog and dragons.

February 14,2010 is a double celebration. right? So, how do we celebrate this rare event? Well, though we are not Chinese we are also welcome to celebrate with them this yearly event. It wouldn't matter which you prefer to rejoice but it would be a great idea if you celebrate this day with your love ones and share the love unselfishly.
