13 [Video]

It's almost February 14th.

[Rachel is peering at her calendar. She's drawn a heart over February 14th -- Valentine's Day -- but the bubble over her head seems rather somber, for some reason. You would think Rachel -- a girl who loves being loved and sings her heart out -- would look forward to Valentine's Day... but instead, the bubble just looks depressed.

Rachel, however, is well-practiced at her smile, and she looks at the camera almost sunnily.]

What is everyone planning on doing for Valentine's Day?

Jewish.

[Something about being called a 'Jew' just bothers her, for some reason. It feels very Sophie's Choice.]

And what does Valentine's Day have to do with being Jewish or Catholic?

Well it's "St. Valentines" day. Only Catholics follow the saints. So why is a Jew... um... Jewish person celebrating the saints?

It's about love and sharing affection. I don't need to be Catholic to do that.

I'm not saying you can't... but... it is a Saints day, Miss Rachel. Don't the Jews... um... Jewish people have their own holiday to show love and affection. And why does anyone need a holiday anyways?

[She is eight shades of offended, but she's trying hard not to get snippy.]

I don't understand why it's a problem that I'm choosing to celebrate a holiday.

I'm not... trying to say it is. I just... well do you celebrate Christmas or Easter? It's a religious holiday and... [Alice is now learning why people don't talk about religions.]

Valentine's Day has little to do with the Catholic religion. It was simply named after a Catholic Saint -- the holiday itself has no religious context. No one goes to church to celebrate being in love.

Therefore, me being a Jew has nothing to do with celebrating Valentine's Day.

Not that it matters anyway, I have no one to celebrate it with.

I-I'm sorry M-Miss Rachel.

I just...

There is little point in being upset over a misunderstanding.

[identity profile] madcuriosity.livejournal.com 2011-02-10 07:10 am (UTC)(link)
But you still seem that way.

[personal profile] somethingspecial 2011-02-10 04:35 pm (UTC)(link)
I would just rather not talk about it.
