At first that might seem like a strange question. After all, Valentine’s Day is noted on calendars and discussed in the news. I can’t go into a store without seeing a red and pink display and there seems to be a lot of gift/craft/makeover/date ideas for Valentine’s Day.
Valentine’s Day was a big deal when I was in school. It was one of those rare days when we had a party, although we were also required to give a Valentine’s card to every classmate. In high school, class parties gave way to the Valentine’s Dance. But once I graduated from school, I didn’t notice that many people observing this holiday.
These days my friends either make alternative plans (like a girl’s night out) or make Valentine’s Day a family event. A few have a romantic night planned, but most are ignoring it.
So I’m wondering: are you celebrating Valentine’s Day or are you ignoring it?
Nope do not really get into Valentine’s day… I like the after Valentine’s sale for candy though…
We exchange cards and I might get a nice, simple bouquet, and that’s about it. I have a friend who is so excited about finding the perfect V-day gift for her husband. I just think, “if it’s so perfect, how are you going to top it next year or even his birthday?”.
Well, if by celebrating you also mean decorating and getting heart shaped boxes of candy, then yeppers.
See, sure, Valentine’s Day is basically a commercialized holiday, but hey, for a chocolate nut such as me, when else can you get a box of candy in a cute/pretty box? (mine for this year had a kitten on it!) And in the middle of winter, with snow on the ground, red decorations bring in some color, so it’s a win/win. Granted, the whole manufactured holiday can make a person feel a little bad if they do not have significant others, but still, there’s always the chocolate (don’t need someone to buy it for you, hence my kitty box! LOLOL)

I so agree with Colleen. For me I’m all about getting the candy on sale after the fact.
It’s a regular day for us.
