Saint Valentine's Day, February 14

Also known as Valentine's Day,  it celebrates love and affection.

The day was named after a Christian martyr named Saint Valentine, by Pope Gelasius I in 496 AD. It was deleted from the Roman calendar of saints in 1969 by Pope Paul VI.

It is traditionally a day on which lovers express their feelings for each other by giving flowers, chocolates, and sending greeting cards (known as "valentines"). 

The day first became associated with romantic love in the times of Geoffrey Chaucer in the High Middle Ages, when the tradition of courtly love flourished. Modern Valentine's Day symbols include the heart-shaped outline, doves, and the figure of the winged Cupid. Since the 19th century, handwritten valentines have given way to mass-produced greeting cards.

What did you do to bring in the New Year? 
Write about it in your blogs!
  Say: where you were; what you ate; who you were with; what time you went to bed.

Examples: 
1.  I stayed home on New Year's with my husband. My eldest cat was dying and I didn't want to leave her. We cooked seafood and at midnight we drank spumante. We went to bed at 3 a.m.



2. My best friend and I flew to China for New Year's.First we went to dinner at a famous Chinese restaurant where we ate fried noodles, wonton soup and sweet and sour pork. It was delicious.
We spent the evening on the Chinese wall, where we watched fireworks to celebrate the arrival of the year 2012. We didn't go to bed until 5 a.m.! It was a wonderful night!
