Question: Is St. Valentines Day a Winter Holiday?

 

Valentine's Day got a couple of mentions in the last Winter Holiday thread--I posted about the over-emphasis on jewelry, and there was another post about the lack of good candy.  The thread itself didn't make it out of January--but if you want to celebrate Valentine's Day, go right ahead.

I remember that from last year. It certainly is a memeable holiday, so if we want to carry through I see no reason not to. I went Xmas shopping this weekend and TJ Maxx already has Valentine's Day stuff out.

It is in February. February is in Winter so it can count as a Winter holiday

 

Ehhhh....that depends on your calendar of choice.  My personal preference is to use the cross-quarter days...the start of spring is Imbolc, which is Feb. 1st or 2nd.  Winter Solstice on Wednesday is Mid-Winter...note the "mid".  Middle of.  So it can't run all the way out through February.

 

Valentine's Day was seasonally neutral at first, but the association of "love in bloom" is quite old now.  As such, IMO, it's a spring holiday.
