When is Valentines Day?

Valentine’s Day is February 14th and this year it will fall on a Tuesday this year – yippee, a Tuesday!! :/ Valentine’s Day is the ethereal time of year when shiny glowing people bathe in the warmth of love, it is simply a heartwarming day.

According to Wikipedia:

“There is an additional modern embellishment to The Golden Legend, provided by American Greetings to History.com, and widely repeated despite having no historical basis whatsoever. On the evening before Valentine was to be executed, he would have written the first "valentine" card himself, addressed to a young girl variously identified as his beloved,[16] as the jailer's daughter whom he had befriended and healed, or both. It was a note that read "From your Valentine."
