Easter


Why did the Easter egg hide?


He was a little chicken!


Why did a fellow rabbit say that the Easter Bunny was self-centered?


Because he was eggo-centric!


Why is a bunny the luckiest animal in the world?


It has four rabbits' feet


How do you make a rabbit stew?


Make it wait for three hours!


What do you get when you pour hot water down a rabbit hole?

Valentines day...

Valentine's Day History

There are varying opinions as to the origin of Valentine's Day. Some experts state that it originated from St. Valentine, a Roman who was martyred for refusing to give up Christianity.


He died on February 14, 269 A.D., the same day that had been devoted to love lotteries. Legend also says that St. Valentine left a farewell note for the jailer's daughter, who had become his friend, and signed it "From Your Valentine". Other aspects of the story say that Saint Valentine served as a priest at the temple during the reign of Emperor Claudius. Claudius then had Valentine jailed for defying him. In 496 A.D. Pope Gelasius set aside February 14 to honour St. Valentine.


Gradually, February 14 became the date for exchanging love messages and St. Valentine became the patron saint of lovers. The date was marked by sending poems and simple gifts such as flowers. There was often a social gathering or a ball.


I think, Valentines Day is far too commercialized and people spend far to much money buying presents on their other half, some even get taken away for weekends which is so over the top. Everyone can be romantic and my personal opinion is that you dont need a set day in the year to tell someone how you feel. Surely i can't be the only one who thinks this??
