What’s Lee-Jackson day, is that in connection with the Civil War?
Hub and I are the same way about holidays - he never remembers my b/day and I don’t care, we never exchange presents on Christmas, and Valentine’s day is a non-event entirely. Every now and then, maybe every couple of years, he’ll ask me what day we got married. I tell him (it’s on his birthday, which he also doesn’t remember) and that’s it.
:-D
What I love is when he does things like fixes the leaking kitchen sink, the washing machine, and wow - the day he came home with a new propane range! oooo-weee!
What I especially am fond of is that he is faithful, responsible, has no vices, doesn’t waste money, cares about me greatly, and is my best friend (besides God of course). All the hearts and flowers and ooey gooey stuff - Hallmark cards stuff - I’d feel weird if he tried it.
Lee-Jackson Day is a holiday to honor Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson. It’s in late January, when both Generals had their birthdays, and used to be observed in several Southern states. It’s been replaced by Martin Luther King’s Unbirthday. Two of our children share General Lee’s birthday, and one is named after General Jackson.
We also observe Star Wars Day (May 4), which is also my mother’s birthday, and other occasions that are meaningful to us.
I like it when my husband does things like bringing me a book from the library sale, or doing some of the shopping for the children’s camping trips, or picking the baby up when she’s having a tantrum at the same time as other children. He remembers our anniversary within several days of the actual date, and most of the children’s middle names!
