If you're interested in alternatives to valentine's day, you could celebrate Vali's blot. If you want to, have a cold meal this Sunday, set out 3 empty plates for Baldr, Hodr, and Nanna. Have a toast to the ones in your life that are no longer with us, and tell their stories. Reflect on your own hatred held in your heart, and what has wronged you. Try to let go of the dark thoughts, and ponder how those wrongs could be righted without being clouded by hate.
If you're curious about the origin of the holiday, read up on Vali.

Wasn't Baldr the guy whose mom basically forced every animate and inanimate object except mistletoe to swear to do him no harm due to him having dreams of his own death, later causing Loki to exploit the single missed plant to kill him?
That makes sense, then
