Thank you! I...didn't do much yesterday, anyway, but it's a nice excuse to spread cheer throughout the f-list.
I read that the Iranian government, at least, had banned the celebration of Valentine's Day, but didn't know that it was banned for Muslims living in more multicultural countries, as well (i.e., countries without theocracies). Valentine's Day really is just a ploy to get people to buy more chocolate and flowers and such (very few people know anything about St. Valentine, and he might not have existed), but I suppose the heavy theme of Western Capitalist Immorality related to the holiday was deemed a danger to the faith.
