Valentine's Day
February 14th is the Feast Day for the Christian martyr, Saint Valentine. It has a somewhat chequered history since it is also the date of a number of massacres in history, particularly that of the Hugenots in Southern France and perhaps more notoriously still, Al Capone's murder of a rival gang in Chicago in the 1930's. That said it is today the date on which it has become customary to send someone a romantic card or some other token of love - preferably anonymously.
It is a day I try to avoid! Twice I have received Valentine Cards and twice I have landed in trouble over them. I have even managed to send gifts for Valentines and landed in trouble for that too! I shall keep the saint's feast in my own way - and I won't be sending any anonymous cards or gifts to anyone! Should I receive any I shall hide them!
Somebody let me know when the 15th arrives!
