They should swap St. Valentine for Dionysus.
A day devoted to wine, song and dance in the middle of February is a splendid idea.
Eating an over-priced dinner with the person you eat dinner with every other day of the year, (on a day neither of you actually chose), isn't really the kind of thing that creates lasting memories - none of my friends have ever regaled me with tales of the 'fucking awesome' Valentine's Day they had.
