Kath's birthday yesterday, and our 1month wedding anniversary today as well... So a triple wammy for me.
Have done nothing yet! Thanks for the reminder
bah! so american....5 points to anyone who can tell me the complete story of valentines day (withoutlooking it up), another 5 to the person who can related most strongly to said story....
Short version - something to do with a gangster massacre in Chicago, courtesy Al Capone
must be worth 1 point
...and liquor....
Some candy, a "cute" card and some "fancy" jewelry with our children's birthstones involved somehow...did I mention a 15 mm TV plossl (for her too of course)...
I got flowers for Valentines day once.
When Greg was working for Ansett, he took the flowers off all the meal trays and bought them home to me.
He's a real classy bloke my husband.
Neither of us follow this commercial tradition. We reckon you can say I love you any or every day of the year.
I dont know either and rarely pay attention to valentines day, which is actually saint valentines day cause aparently he is a saint... I one looked ti up because a kid came in with a school project on it, but have since forgotten 90% of it because it is of little importance and/or interest
people should show their love every day not just on one day that some american tradition dictates.
Of course, you're absolutely right. But it is unfortunate how so many folk, both XX and XY, need a day like yesterday to remind them to be nice to each other for at least one day in the year
Keep in mind we live in a society where they're seriously looking at instituting simple common kindnesses like "please" and "thank you" at schools
