Should Valentine’s Day be a public holiday?

“If all year were playing holidays, to sport would be as tedious as to work.” Shakespeare’s words in his play Henry IV basically mean that if you had more holidays than work days, holidays would be the new work days. We would be bored with these special days. What about Valentine’s Day? Should it be a public holiday?  The day of roses, love and presents, is not recognized as a public holiday in Rwanda. Government offices, stores, schools and other organizations are open as usual.
