Celebrating Saint Valentine's Day during Wintertyde

OK, we have been running through the Wintertyde holidays in chronological order to give newcomers an overview of how Wintertyde works. First, note that Wintertyde puts the "Saint" back into Valentine's Day. This holiday falls on February 14th each year. The protocol is to put up your Saint Valentine's Day decor immediately after February 2nd. This will give you a two week lead in for everyone to enjoy your decorations. Hearts, etc. go onto your exterior and interior wreaths. Add a heart ornament to your Wintertyde tree.
