A Japanese candy company started a tradition in 1960 where women would give men chocolate on Feb. 14. On March 14 (White Day), men would return the favor, except with white chocolate. See America isn't the only country where holidays are sold!

What wonderful traditions! Seeing as Valentine's Day is my birthday, I've always made it more about friends and family than romance. We Americans need to do the same!
