[Daine sighs into the phone. She's honestly confused.]

I feel like I have to ask this about all holidays here.

What's...Valentine's Day? We didn't have it where I came from. Sometimes I miss the sensible holidays, Samhain and Beltane...things like that.

When did all of these holidays get started? It's fair confusing, in my book.

no place like home, valentine's day, how does on sit on babies

So it's a holiday for people to make money and others to fall in love? That seems fair silly.

PDA? [this holiday is weird, why can't we just celebrate the harvest like normal people] It sounds fair complicated.

I've never had one either, don't feel bad. At home we had May Day, which was where boys gave girls tokens of their appreciation. But I never got one of those, either.

I was wondering that as well. We didn't have this day in Ingary either.

I've been told it's something about love, but also about people making money.

You give something to the person you totally like!

silvestris_mage February 12 2010, 17:55:34 UTC

...oh, so it's a lover's holiday. What do you get them, though?

electrowhipit February 12 2010, 18:14:54 UTC

When you find out, let me know.

silvestris_mage February 12 2010, 21:03:52 UTC

Apparently it's some day where people celebrate love. At least, that's what I'm being told.

electrowhipit February 12 2010, 21:06:08 UTC

Huh. Celebrate it how?

silvestris_mage February 12 2010, 22:12:15 UTC

Well, by buying gifts and...chocolate for people you love. And then giving it to them.

It all seems rather confusing.

I don't know how it started. But it's a holiday with chocolate! An' even if you don't have a guy to buy you stuff. You can buy lots of cheap chocolate the day after!

Also you can give people stuff even if they aren't your boyfriend.

silvestris_mage February 12 2010, 21:05:09 UTC

Chocolate! That sounds like a fair good reason to go shopping.

Oh! Well then, maybe I'll get something for Terry, since I think she'd like chocolate. And a few others...

crazyclownwoman February 12 2010, 21:20:26 UTC

Exactly! So we have to do that soon! I need to buy some of the people in my house chocolate! And Flora! I'm getting her something!

[You are her offical shopping buddy now]

I'm up for it anytime. I've been going to school like a good girl, so I s'pose that I could skip a day.
