National Creme-Filled Chocolates Day There are countless ways for chocoholics to indulge their passion, but there are those among us who hold a special place in their hearts for cream-filled chocolates, and Cream-Filled Chocolates Day has been created with these people in mind. There’s just something about snapping through the outer layer of chocolate and letting that luscious creamy centre melt on your tongue; nothing else compares! Whether it’s strawberry, butterscotch or peppermint you crave, there’s a flavour to satisfy anyone’s taste. So is there any reason not to celebrate this most delicious of holidays? We think not! https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/cream-filled-chocolates-day/

Ferris Wheel Day Ride high, high in the sky (within the constraints of a Perspex box attached to a giant wheel); what better way to celebrate Ferris Wheel Day? https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/ferris-wheel-day/

Valentines Day Valentine’s Day began as St. Valentine’s Day, a liturgical celebration of one or more early Christian saints name Valentinus. February 14th, Valentine’s, Day first became associated with romantic love during the High Middle Ages as the tradition of courtly love was then flourishing. During 18th century England, this day evolved into an occasion in which lovers expressed their love for each other by presenting flowers, offering confectionery and sending valentine cards. http://www.nationaldaycalendar.com/valentines-day-february-14/
