There are plenty of so called Hallmark Holidays but I think Valentine's day is not one of them. After all it predates the invention of Hallmark Cards. I did a little research and I found out that Valentine's Day is named after 2 early Christian martyrs. For a detailed history and information on Valentine's Day, go to wikepedia's page on this topic. Very interesting indeed. One can not stop learning new things. And this year, I do not have any special someone to celebrate my Valentine's Day so I am officially adopting everybody as my Valentine. Happy Valentine's Day to all!!!

Hallmark Holiday?

Urban Dictionary says Valentime's also falls on 14 February, same as Valentine's Day except it is only celebrated by 5 year olds. For the rest of us, Happy Valentine's Day!
ReplyDeleteValentime? by 5 year olds? Oh how interesting... As I said, one never stops learning. I just learned something new (again) from Ta Lani. :-) Thanks...
ReplyDeleteThat was just a play on words. Ever notice how little kids can't say Valentine's and say Valentime's instead?
ReplyDeletei did notice that but did not know they it was sort of a "thing". i guess one has to have a 5 year old to be into the "thing". :-)
