St. Skeletor's Day is celebrated annually on February 15, primarily in the United States, as a humorous response to the pressures of Valentine's Day. It provides an opportunity for singles to express their disdain for love and the commercialization surrounding it, particularly after experiencing the previous day's romantic celebrations. The day encourages individuals to vent their frustrations about being single, often in a lighthearted manner. Created by British comedian Richard Herring in 1998, St. Skeletor's Day is described as a time for "lost souls" without love, promoting the idea that love should not be confined to a single day. Typical customs include rejecting the need for gifts or special gestures, contrasting sharply with the expectations of Valentine's Day.
