Is it Valentines Day (a day of many valentines),
Valentine's Day (a day belonging to a specific valentine), or
Valentines' Day (a day belonging to many valentines)?
It is the same conundrum as Mothers Day....Mother's Day, or Mothers' Day (Fathers Day too). Most often the apostrophes are just ignored or forgotten. Maybe it's just as well since we have a difficult time deciding where they go anyway.

a question without an answer...I don't know for sure.
I believe it is Valentine's Day.
I've seen Valentine's Day written more often than not, but it's something I always wonder about when the holiday approaches.
Since Saint Valentine's Day is named after an early Christian martyr I think it is Valentine's. Who knows?
I say plural, but not possessive. Valentines. Some (my little Logan) might argue that it is Valentimes.
