d_aulnoyFrom the comments section of Slate's article on Valentine's Day hater's:
If there was any justice in the world we would instead be celebrating tomorrow, Feb. 15th - Galileo's birthday - instead of today. When I'm feeling particularly energetic I make Galileo Day cards and pass them out to friends & co-workers with bookstore gift cards - (the way you celebrate G-Day is to learn something new & the traditional gift is a book). I prefer my own holidays... to each their own.
What a wonderful idea! If you could make up a holiday, what would it be?
