Happy Friends' Day!

In Finland, the 14th is the day of friendship. So have some friendship day greetings, all of you!

Aw, I like that. Sometimes in the US people give gifts to friends on Valentine's Day too, which I always approve of. Who says love has to be limited to romance?

Happy friends' day to you!

It's not even about love here, it's friendship, pure and simple, and I love that such a day exists.

What a nice tradition! I love it, I wish to import it! :D

[extrapenguin]

It is a very good tradition! Feel free to import everything. :D

[laireshi]

Aww, I love that!

[extrapenguin]

It is one of the better public awareness days, yes.

How cool! Happy Friends' Day!

It is very cool! Happy boxing friendship day*, as it's the 15th over for you already!

* by analogy with Christmas Day -> Boxing Day

Happy (belated?) Friends' Day! The word from my niece- and nephew-in-law is that among Japanese schoolkids, Valentine's Day is now less about chocolate for the boy you like and more about chocolate for your friends, so perhaps they are becoming more Finnish :)

The Moomins and Marimekko are very popular in Japan... Perhaps some cultural traditions are being imported, too! :P

Happy day of friendship to you, too! I prefer it to Candy Hearts Day, honestly.

(The 15th, now... that's Cheap Chocolate Day, which I definitely celebrate and approve of!) :D

Cheap Chocolate Day is one of the better holidays, it's true! A fitting continuation of Friends' Day.
