One day out of the whole year to show your love??

I mean just for ONE day?? Why not the WHOLE YEAR round??

Discuss

Well I think its more one day to celebrate the love u show each other throughout the year...rather than showing u love them for 1 day

It's a day to spend money, as far as I'm concerned. Those $24 dollar roses were $12 dollars on Friday and will be on Sunday. But Saturday? HOLY SHIT!

Now, see, I can appreciate someone dropping 200 bucks on someone like that. nuce gesture,...but DAYUM!
Still,
I adore roses. But I'm really rather have them in a pot with dirt, so they don't croak in 5 days.

Saint Valentine of Rome

Memorial

14 February
Profile

Priest in Rome, possibly a bishop. Physician. Imprisoned for giving aid to martyrs in prison, and while there converted the jailer by restoring sight to the jailer’s daughter. While Valentine of Terni and Valentine of Rome sometimes have separate entries in martyrologies and biographies, most scholars believe they are the same person.

There are several theories about the origin of Valentine’s Day celebrations that relate to love and sentiment. Some believe the Romans had a mid-February custom where boys drew the names of girls in honour of the sex and fertility goddess, Februata Juno; pastors “baptised” this holiday, like some others, by substituting the names of saints such as Valentine to suppress the practice. Others maintain that the custom of sending Valentines on 14 February stems from the belief that birds begin to pair on that date; by 1477 the English associated lovers with the feast of Valentine because on that day “every bird chooses him a mate.” The custom of men and women writing love letters to their Valentine started on this day. Other “romance” traditions have become attached to this feast, including pinning bay leaves to your pillow on Valentine’s Eve so that you will see your future mate that night in your dreams.

Wah? whaaat????

My family loves all holidays.

We always buy the children some candy and a card, and my husband and I give gifts and go to dinner every year. We do exotic flowers, not roses. We do show our love year round, but it's fun to make a day of it. I send Valentine's to my girlfriends too. It doesn't have to be about romantic love.
