At our house we don’t make a big deal of the greeting card holidays. Valentines Day is a sweet little holiday, or at least it used to be before the jewelry and lingerie stores took it over. It’s really supposed to be all about greeting cards, you know – cute, funny ones when you’re a kid and pretty lacy ones with pink hearts when you’re all grown up. (although candy is nice too, but unfortunately more fattening than greeting cards)
Anyway, I like this cute and hilarious adult greeting card. It’s perfect for Valentines Day haters and cynics but also for anyone with a good sense of humor.
Also, if you really hate Valentines Day, when someone asks you what you’re doing for the occasion tell them “I don’t believe in Valentines day; I celebrate Lupercalia.”

Lupercalia sounds like a lot more fun than valentine’s day to me.
“in imitation of Lupercus, and ran round the walls of the old Palatine city, the line of which was marked with stones, with the thongs in their hands in two bands, striking the people who crowded near. Girls and young women would line up on their route to receive lashes from these whips.”
Just one reason. hahahaha.

LOL… I agree with Hippie. Lupercalia sounds like quite the party.
