If you asked me what my new years resolutions were, you may have received my joking reply that I wanted to create new holidays this year. 2007 is off to a good start on that front; I was delighted to celebrate New Years Eve, Eastern Standard Time (and then again, at actual Vancouver-midnight), and then later in January we celebrated Mittens.
So my new holiday proposal for February is probably better described as an altered ritual: I think that Valentines Day should be spent with ex-boyfriends and ex-girlfriends, drinking whiskey, sitting on the floor, and cutting letter "X"s out of pink and red construction paper, and writing passive-aggressive, yet sweet notes on them.
