Now I know this is quite a bit early to be posting about this,
because Valentine's day
is not for another month :screwy: ..
However, I was just curious as to how many people actually either plan this day out, love it/hate it, or just plain don't celebrate it! I'll admit to about all of those-- yes , guilty as charged ! :rolleyes: I have heard everything across the board about this day such as :

1- I hate it because im single:bang:
2- It's just a Hallmark holiday :mad:
3- Oh my gosh I LOVE IT!:party:
4- I hate this day because its pointless:what:
5- Single awareness day :rock:

And the list goes on and so forth. For me personally, I have an extreme love/hate relationship with this particular day. It's excruciating and painful [ for me] when I was single and I was always miserable seeing flowers and going crazy from the color pink. But, a few years ago I stopped feeling sorry for myself and decided to make Valentine's day a "me" day. I would treat myself to a pedicure, buy me a fancy box of chocolates and curl up in my blankets and watch a marathon of " I love lucy". :thumbup: Regardless, even when I had that "special someone", I made it not only about them, but all about my family and close friends saying to all of them " Valentine's day is really all about how much I love all of YOU! ." :wub:

But back to the whole "celebrating" occasion of it all. Do any of you celebrate it? Hate it? Love it? Why ? :) I normally tend to plan holidays/birthdays WAY in advanced and I'm thinking about it for at least a month :p

Assuming I had a girlfriend (which I don't), I usually enjoy Valentine's Day...That said, my most recent ex was a (insert foul word of choice here), and unfortunately I was with her for 5 years...fortunately I've been single for technically 4+ years, physically 3+ years (we lived together after she dumped me...it's complicated)...

So, back on topic. Valentines day is just another day to me at this point in my life. I very much look forward to the day I can change that though...

valentines is usually a good day, It's a little hard on the wallet, but its worth it. Between Dinner $150-200, Flowers $70-100, and a gift for my wife, and her gift to me $100-150 each, that's at high end....$500. And we're trying to save for a house so i'm not really looking forward to it this year. Maybe we'll talk and postpone our celebration till after we get the home stuff situated.

See but that's just the thing. You could save so much more, and still celebrate . Try a delicious home cooked meal, some nice flowers ( pro flowers always has amazing bouquets and they are not too expensive ). And for gifts , I mean for me personally I only get gifts for anniversaries , birthdays an Christmas . I've never thought of presents on valentines . I just make him cute home made stuff with candy and other sentimental things and he always loves it :). Valentines day doesn't have to be expensive

Meh, waste of $500 unless you're baller status in the salary department. Flowers & a card with a paragraph stating you truly still love your wife/significant other is all it should really be about. If she's not happy with a kind gesture and some sincere words from the heart, then the relationship is based on the wrong foundation.

It's valentines day up in my house all the time. :thumbup: I don't go with the drones and go all out on the 14th. Something simple is all she needs because I try hard all year to make sure she's happy.

We're both boring and don't usually do anything on the DAY (save a card and a small gift), but do make it a point to go on a nice date around then.

we should have a S.A.D. night on v-day and watch some sad chick flick like the notebook or my sisters keeper, and then, whoever cries has to take a shot, or something...although, that might not work since I don't drink...well dammit, it worked in my head (although i don't know why it worked in my head)
