WHERE DID RELATIONSHIP HOLIDAYS COME FROM?
It all started with one of the oldest celebrations of love: Valentine’s Day (Feb. 14). As most of us know, the holiday started as a feast day for St. Valentine, the patron saint of love and affection. Then, Chaucer and Shakespeare started romanticizing the holiday in their writing—helping it gain popularity throughout Britain and Europe. It became custom to give beaus handmade paper cards, which some of us still do today!
Hundreds of years later, Valentine’s Day is ubiquitous. It’s celebrated by brands and lovers alike, and we look forward to it every year. To pepper our year with even more excitement, both ordinary people and institutions started other holidays that help us spend special moments with the ones we love. Just look at National Proposal Day, created by John Michael O’Loughlin as a celebration of love.
Other holidays, however, aim to let us celebrate other people in our lives. For example, have you ever thought to celebrate your ex-spouse? April 14 gives you that opportunity to acknowledge them or… well, forget them. Need to pay back a friend that got you a while back? Surprise them on October 17 with the funds you owe them, and maybe a few bucks on the top for interest.
Hold your loved ones close this year, and celebrate with them!
SUBMIT YOUR FAVORITE RELATIONSHIP HOLIDAYS
If you celebrate a relationship holiday we’re missing from our calendar, we’d love to hear from you! But before you head on over to our holiday submission page and let us know, compile a bit of information about your holiday. Is it widely celebrated? Does it have a track record of media coverage? If it’s established, we’d love to hear from you!
