Gag Me With the Decapitated Head of a Martyr… or Two…

If you hate the consumeristic commercialization of a holiday that literally had nothing to do with love or romance, rather “originated as a liturgical feast to celebrate the decapitation of a third-century Christian martyr, or perhaps two,” by the Roman Emperor Claudius Gothicus, then please, by all means, do STOP commercializing and bastardizing it.

I am still a devout Atheist as ‘beliefs’ go, but that does not preclude my belief that people should not be decapitated, for theirs.

Single or attached, I have long abhorred this particular Hallmark Holiday, and have repeatedly requested of my Royal Consorts to kindly, NOT engage.

 know better, cause anyone who actually knows anything about me, does.
