hi again everyone!
so ive learned a bit about valentines day
and in doing so ive found its celebrated differently in different places? :o
and also in some places like japan
theres a corresponding holiday called white day!

so anyway my question today is do you celebrate valentines
and if so how
just out of curiosity
with absolutely no ulterior motive whatsoever

also exactly how many human holidays are there because so far there have been rather a lot of them my goodness
its almost like theres a holiday for every month
and there are at least five ways to celebrate each one
i think i need a chart

I'm traveling with him and a lovely young lady named Valeria, but we call her Val.

I'm sure you'll get the hang of it in no time!
Easter is basically a religious holiday that is the sequel to Christmas.
Where Christmas is said to be the birth of Jesus Christ, Easter is supposedly the day that he resurrected from his death, though he died three days later.
Traditionally, it's supposed to be a day properly celebrating that resurrection, but most celebrate it a different way.
Namely, you gift people with Easter baskets full of chocolates with a chocolate bunny as the centerpiece. Or just a plush toy or something else the person might want.
It's mostly a family holiday and the apex of it is that the night before Easter, you're supposed to dye boiled eggs different colors, and then have an Easter Egg Hunt.
Or some other variation on an Easter Egg Hunt.
It's a lot of fun for kids, though there are adults who take pleasure in participating in the Hunt.
The goal of it is to get the most eggs before anyone else. Prizes are optional, but the bragging rights and recognition for being the best Hunter might be prize enough for some.
