Always have - for all it's small little celebrations to help get you through the winter. Granted, winter in San Diego isn't exactly tough sledding, but it often is elsewhere. A cousin of mine once wrote a note to my grandmother in a Valentine's Day card that he'd always wondered why such a celebration was in the cold of the winter, but then thought perhaps it was so in order to look for the warmth to come from the heart.
So bring it on: Candlemas, Groundhog's day, St. Blaise, Lincoln's Birthday, Valentine's Day, George Washington's Birthday, and sometimes Leap Day. I love them all! Was under the weather today, but will try and make it to Mass tomorrow to get the throat blessed.
And the pitchers get called to spring training at the end of the month and hope springs eternal.

I've had enough of it already.
8" of snow + 20% gradient right outside the front door + black ice = not the most felicitous combination you could imagine.
It could be worse, you could be locked up with videos of Taboo!!! ;-D Or Debbie Gibson singing Innagoddadavida, which would be infinitely worse.
You know, I actually have the DVD of the British version of "Taboo" somewhere, and I saw the show on tour. It's not as bad as you'd think. In fact, parts of the British version of the show are rather good. The Broadway cast recording, however, is absolutely awul - terrible arrangements that render every song as a slab of melodramatic sludge, and career-worst performances from everybody involved.
Wow...terrible arrangements, melodramatic sludge, combined with career worst performances -- a triple threat musical!
BTW, which is worse, Taboo, or Blood Brothers? [I was AD for the latter once, I wanted to stab my eyes out.]
