¡Feliz Día del Amor y la Amistad!

¡Hola a todos, y feliz día de San Valentin! For those of you who aren't lovers of the day of love (o que están tristes porque no tienen un novio/una novia), the way Valentine's Day is celebrated in many Latin countries should cheer you up a little bit. It's not just about celebrating love, but also celebrates amistad, friendship!

So, in honor of nuestros amigos, a few links for you all to enjoy and to use to let sus amigos know que son muy especiales!

Primero, who doesn't like to get una tarjeta (a card) de un amigo o una amiga? Tarjetas Zea has some very cute tarjetas en español that you can send to tus amigos por correo-e (e-mail)! If you leave your name and e-mail in the comments section, I'll even pick one out and send it to you! (Don't worry; I screen the comments so that your e-mail addy won't be published for everyone to see.)

Segundo, did you know that some countries celebrate el Día del Amor y la Amistad on a different day? ¡En Colombia, celebran el tercer (3rd) sábado en septiembre, y países como Argentina, Brazil y Uruguay celebran sus amigos en El Día del Amigo (with a different origin) el 20 de julio! The origins of El Día del Amigo son muy interesantes, so click on the link if you want to find out more.

Finalmente, I found este video en Youtube con una canción bilingüe sobre el Día del Amor y la Amistad. I don't particularly love the part of the song that's en inglés, but I think the part that's en español is kind of cute. ¿Qué opinan Ustedes? (What do you think?)

Hope you'll enjoy the links, and...

¡espero que tengan un Día de la Amistad muy feliz!
