I have never celebrated Valentine's Day and nobody in my immediate family does. But I do wish people who celebrate an appropriate greeting acknowledging their celebration.
Were you aware it was Shushan Purim Katan this Shabbos?
Let's try this again. FYI not everyone on this forum is Shomer Shabbat and since you are not Hashem, you are in no place to judge them.

There are no special observances associated with Shushan Purim Kattan, other than the omission of Tachnun ("supplications") from the daily prayers and a prohibition against fasting or holding eulogies on this day.

I just think it's funny when a Jew celebrates a goyisha "holiday" and yet is totally unaware of dates Jewiah significance. When I was a kid and attending a Reform shul, I had never even heard of Shavous, and yet I celebrated all the Pagan holidays. Heck, my reform shul had Halloween celebrations in shul, and yet the doors were shuttered on Shavous, our rememberance of Matan Torah.
Point made. Hopefully our Jewish and self-identifying Jewish fellow posters will continue on the path to Jewish observance, and this forum will plant the seed in their minds that what they are currently doing isn't quite good enough. Same applies to myself. We should all strive for better observance. One never reaches a platform of perfect observance.
