What do you call it, St. Valentine's Day or by D.A.L.U.I. on 06 Feb, 2009 14:37

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!!!! -

It has always just been "Valentine's Day". It was also the day that I proposed to my wife back in 1992.

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

Since I lived in the Chicago area for 25 years, I guess I just got used to hearing it referred to as the Saint Valentine's Day Massacre...
...but Wonder Wife and I always just shorten it to Valentine's Day... -

I call it a pain in the ARSE.
I'm romantic 364 other days of the year (365 on leap year's). Why do I need Hallmark to obligate me to do something?

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