23 февраля - День Российской Армии!
Вверх орудия палят, всех салютом балуют.
Шлют они от всей страны благодарность воинам,
Что живём мы без войны, мирно и спокойно.

Valentines Day Celebrations in History
Valentine's Day Festival has a history of extravagant celebrations in Australia.

Some of the most lavish Valentines were made of a satin cushion and were perfumed and ornately decorated with flowers and colored shells. Some were even adorned with taxidermied humming bird or bird of paradise. This valuable treasure used to be kept in a neatly decorated box.
