So we're celebrating a day about people who are sexually active and named it after someone who died for their religion.

I've read so many things about that particular story, I've stopped--er--alright, I never cared about the story or the holiday itself.
Not my thing.

Anyway, 'celebrated' early, parents gave me a small box of chocolates and six lottery tickets...none of them were winners...I feel like they were mocking me XD

Valentine's day was also named such because of St. Valentine, who was first a priest. Their emperor at the time outlawed marriages because, under laws of the time, married men could not go to war.

Valentine secretly married couples for years, until the emperor found out, and had him executed. He was executed on February 14th.

Little more information for you... Also, it's celebrated on the 12th in Brazil. My guess is they have one of their national holidays on the 14th?

Possibly, I don't know much about Brazil and hell I had no idea about that Sakuri, I learned something new! lol

I had an amazing Valentine's Day. Jeff bought me a dozen hot pink roses and he made dinner and bought me a bunch of cute little things that are really sweet and special and we just spent the weekend together. It was so sweet.

That's so nice; I'm glad you both enjoyed each other's company. It's always nice when you get to spend Valentine's Day with someone really special.
