Valentine's Day

How are you spending this day of the year? It's been interesting seeing psychologists being brought on the news to give their take on this holiday. Some see it as an excuse for women to get attention, some the one day of the year men must remember to get a gift for their sweethearts (even if they forget all the other dates), and some who are single can't stand the day.

Well, how do you feel about Valentine's Day? Not for a project, or anything else worthy of your time. Just me being curious. :)

Personally I don't rate Valentine's day at all....

BUT I know someone who does... so any Valentines's related fuss is just for her benefit :love:

Where does "a Hallmark holiday designed to make you worry and feel inadequate when you try to bribe your ______ with candy she won't eat, flowers she'll kill, and a card that will turn your stomache"

Heart warming isn't it

My wife and I both agree that Valentines day is over rated. I think it is more for kids and young people. You should do nice things for one another every day, not just on one day. It is a money maker for the businesses. I was in Wal-mart yesterday and it was so crowded, I thought it was Christmas.

My opinion --- It's a Hallmark Holiday. Commercial propaganda.

With that said, I still get my wife something every year, because well... she deserves it.

Well, 14 years ago I made the decision to become engaged on Valentines Day, so it is very special to my wife. And me!

As a woman, I personally think Valentines Day is over rated. If you are truly in love, you should show that love and genorousity year round, not on a specific "marked calendar day". Just my .02 worth :) (and yes I am married and very much in love).
