Default Valentine's Day Alone

Then Jackie's wrong. *SAINT* Valentine's Day isn't a feast of
obligation within the Holy Roman Catholic Church. Saint Valentine
is one of the minor saints.

Having said that, it does annoy me when people just call it
"Valentine's Day". After all, one doesn't refer to "Patrick's
Day", or "George's Day", or "Swithin's Day", does one?

I bet that happens mostly here in America. I think sometimes we are
just kinda lazy - heh.

thinking there is the even worse "Happy V. D." Ugh.
