Title: What do you call it, St. Valentine's Day or
Post by: D.A.L.U.I. on February 06, 2009, 02:37:50 PM: Warhawk's thread made me wonder, and since I'm such a nice BALD GUY, rather than insert this thought in his thread, I'd open yet another.

What is your usual term for February 14, St. Valentine's Day or Valentine's Day???
When I was growing up, even in a protestant environment, it was St. Valentine's Day. Lately this has morphed into Valentine's Day in modern European and American practice. Without judgment OR COMMENT on which is preferable and why, do you personally refer to it as SAINT Valentine's Day or Valentine's Day??? Obviously I use the St. Valentine's Day, as does my family. Just a question on how practices morphe into new ideas, NOTHING MORE--UNDERSTAND!!!!

Ghost, I am sure that will change if you keep up the SLY attitude. Just wait and see.

...but Wonder Wife and I always just shorten it to Valentine's Day...

What good is being romantic if you have to be told to do it on a certain day at a certain time?

Broads don't ask you to be their Valentine? Are you not being truthful about shaving every day--I mean what girl doesn't ask a guy if they're smooth >:D?

Post by: The Scottish Ambassador on February 07, 2009, 12:49:21 AM: I call it 14th February. I resent the money making part of all such events (that includes Christmas, Easter, Fathers Day, Mothers Day etc. Remember me going on about the "reason for the season at Christmas guys?). I dont have to buy cards/flowers etc to show Madam Ambassador how I feel. Bah humbug!

"Sweetest Day" actually comes out of a German tradition, and it is generally only heard of in areas that were originally settled by a lot of German immigrants.

I would only know this because my wife's family used to be in the florist industry, in Ohio, and had German ancestors, and sold greeting cards in their flower shop...
