14.02. - known by most people as Valentine's day, celebration of love - in Finland it's kind of special: Here they do not only dedicate this day to lovers, but also to friendship. Literally translated, "Ystävänpäivä" actually means "Friend's Day"!
At the kindergarten, the children were writing/drawing cards and letters to send to their friends. I think it's a cute change to the usual thing. Though, of course finnish people also celebrate love with their partners, there is just a little more to it. :)
