Happy Hearts’ Day!

Valentine’s Day…

Hello Everyone! It’s been a while since my last blog but I hope you’re enjoying the many stories to share here at Kikko English School by the other teachers and our very own General Manager Eimy who always keep you updated.

Anyway, in less than a week, we will be giving/sending chocolates, cookies, cake, flowers, gifts, etc. to our loved ones and here in Japan, traditionally Valentine’s Day is usually for men – they are the ones who receive chocolates or cookies most.

According to Wikipedia, Valentine’s Day originated as a Western Christian feast day honoring one or two early saints named Valentinus. It is recognized as a significant cultural, religious, and commercial celebration of romance and romantic love in many regions around the world, although it is not a public holiday in any country.

But for me, Valentine’s Day is just a state of mind because we don’t even know why saint Valentine is associated with romance or romantic love. Some make use of the same to create business (as mentioned above: “commercial celebration”); some take advantage of it to seek love, while some make the most of it to enjoy and a chance to show their affection and appreciation to their loved ones, may not be necessarily in a romantic way.

Valentine Craft

This year’s simple and easy Valentine craft of our Bilingual Kids represents a “pure” love as they trace their own cute hands and pasted heart shaped printed colored papers all over it. Indeed, our children is the Greatest Love of All!

They make Every day a Valentine’s Day!

Till then,

Olga ❤️
