Look, if people wanna start sacrificing goats again and doing feasts, I’m all in. Hell yea, sounds great. The problems I have with Valentine’s Day are with the commercialization of love, which is how it’s been celebrated for hundreds of years. If you wanna celebrate in a non-traditional way, I’ve no real beef with you, because you’re not really celebrating the problematic parts.
Oh I don’t really celebrate Valentine’s Day, I was just pointing out it has quite a bit of history. Though having a big feast in the middle of February sounds kinda fun I might start doing that.
Some other user mentioned going with their SO to a potluck with friends as their celebration, and that sounds like such a better way to celebrate than all our overcommercialized bullshit. I think our ancestors were right, big February feast is the way forward.
Valentines day has a quiet a bit of history too though.
Some people believe that Valentine’s day only came to be because of lupercalia, witch was a festival.
