Valentine’s Day is celebrated around the world in different ways. Wales does it through love spoons, while Denmark share white roses or snowdrops. On the eve on Valentine's Day, women in England used to place five bay leaves on their pillows -- one at each corner and one in the center -- to bring dreams of their future husbands. In South Africa it is customary for women to wear their hearts on their sleeves on February 14th; women pin the names of their love interest on their shirtsleeves.

Groundhog Day—specifically February 2—traces its roots back to an ancient celebration of the midway point between the winter solstice and the spring equinox. According to legend, a sunny sky on that day signifies a stormy and cold second half of winter while a cloudy sky indicates the arrival of warm weather.
