Due to the origin of "White Valentine's Day" in Europe, Europeans have a certain history of celebrating "White Valentine's Day" and have formed a quite mature custom. According to legend, on February 14th, a boy gave a girl a gift (usually roses and chocolate). After a month of consideration and investigation, on March 14th, if a girl gives a gift to a boy (usually a handmade cookie), it means that the girl recognizes the boy and can start dating. Therefore, March 14th is also known as White Valentine's Day. Compared to the enthusiasm of February 14th, the story of March 14th indicates that it is more of a sweet and welcoming day< Br>
