In Finland, Valentines Day is called Ystavanpaiva, which
translates into “Friend Day” As the name
indicates,this is more about remembering all your friends,not only your loved
ones.
As a devoted Jane Austen I have adopted one of her lines from the novel, Northanger Abby, as one of my life's mottos....
“There is nothing I would not do for those who are really my
friends. I have no notion of loving
people by halves, it is not my nature”
As the rest of the world celebrates Valentines Day... I would like to celebrate the Finnish way...Happy Ystävänpäivä Day to ALL of my friends!
