“Dear John letter” refers to a letter written by a woman to her husband or boyfriend to inform him that their relationship is over, usually due to the woman finding another man.

The roles may also be reversed, with a man notifying his wife or girlfriend with a “Dear Jane letter”.

Story behind the Letters

During World War II, Large numbers of American troops were stationed overseas for many months or years, and as time passed many of their wives or girlfriends decided to begin a relationship with a new man rather than wait for their old one to return. As letters to servicemen from wives or girlfriends back home would typically contain affectionate language, a serviceman receiving a note beginning with a curt “Dear John” would instantly be aware of the letter’s purpose.

So Ladies & Gentlemen, behave yourself well to your partner to avoid Dear John/Jane letters.

Every February, across the country, candy, flowers, and gifts are exchanged between loved ones, all in the name of St. Valentine.

But who is this mysterious saint and why do we celebrate this holiday?

Valentine was a holy priest in Rome, who, with St. Marius and his family, assisted the martyrs in the persecution under Claudius II. Claudius II had a rule in his empire that no soldiers should marry. Claudius thought that married soldiers weren’t as good as single soldiers.During a ban on marriages of Roman soldiers by the Emperor Claudius II, St. Valentine secretly helped arrange marriages. So Claudius commended him to be beaten with clubs, and afterwards, to be beheaded, which was executed on February 14. On the evening before Valentine was to be executed, he passed a love note to his jailer’s daughter that read, “From your Valentine.”

Other Variations

White Day - March 14.

Men are expected to return the favour to those who gave them chocolates on Valentine’s Day. Many men, however, give only to their girlfriends. Originally, the return gift was supposed to be white chocolate or marshmallows; hence “White Day”.

Black Day - April 14

This one emerged in Korea, when males who did not receive anything for Valentine’s Day gather together on this day.

Pepero Day - November 11

On this day young couples give each other romantic gifts. This one is celebrated in South Korea.

Night of Sevens [Chinese Valentines Day]

Its on the 7th day of the 7th month of the lunar calendar. Young girls traditionally demonstrate their domestic arts, especially melon carving, on this day and make wishes for a good husband. This year its on 19th August.

Tanabata - Seven Evenings[Japanese version of night of sevens]

Its on July 7th on the solar calendar. The story behind the Tanabata is a very interesting one. A young farmer named Mikeran saw a robe lying on the ground one day and decided to take it away to his hut. However, soon after that, a beautiful goddess descended from the skies and asked him, “Have you seen my celestial robe? I cannot return to the skies without it!” Mikeran lied and told Tanabata, the goddess, that he had not but he would help her look for it. Gradually, they fell in love and got married and had many children. However, one day when Mikeran was out working on the fields, Tanabata noticed a shiny piece of cloth poking from the thatched roof. She pulled it and to her dismay, it was her celestial garment! When Mikeran returned and saw her garbed in it, his heart stopped because he knew that she knew he had lied. He fell on his knees begging her to forgive him, but Tanabata had only one thing to say, “Mikeran,” she said, “If you really love me, you will weave 1000 pairs of straw shoes. Only then will I return to you.” She said this and then disappeared. Mikeran tried his best to weave the shoes but could not weave them in his lifetime, thus he never met Tanabata again. However, it is said that they meet once in a while when the moons/stars Altair and Vega intersect.

St. Faustine Day - Feb 15

Feb 8 2007 : Anna Nicole Smith collapses, dies at 39

Anna Nicole Smith, was an American model, actress and celebrity who first gained popularity as Playboy magazine’s 1993 Playmate of the Year. She was subsequently called ‘the next Marilyn Monroe‘. Becoming one of Playboy’s most popular models, Smith began a trend for a more voluptuous look. She next posed nude for the May 1992 centerfold (under the name Vickie Smith).

On February 8, 2007, Smith was found unresponsive in a room at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Florida. At 1:38 p.m. (18:38 UTC) Seminole Police Chief Charlie Tiger said a nurse in Smith’s sixth floor room called the hotel front desk, who in turn called security, who in turn called 911, and at 1:45 p.m. a bodyguard administered CPR before she was rushed to Memorial Regional Hospital at 2:10 p.m and pronounced dead upon arrival at 2:49 p.m. Smith’s boyfriend, Howard K. Stern, was with her when she died and has reported to Entertainment Tonight that her temperature was running high the night before.
