Valentines Day... yay or nay

[beeniesmom]

So.... do you love or loathe Valentines day?

It's not a huge holiday for me, but it's a fun excuse to spoil pups and friends.

Gosh it was soooo important when I was hopelessly single. I saw all the couples happily making plans while I sat home alone. Then a group of friends and I would get together every year and revel in our single-hood. That was a BLAST, and I looked forward to Valentine's day for the first time.

Now that I'm married, its just another day to me, though lately we've been taking any excuse to splurge for something. Hubby and I went to dinner friday night to celebrate since I'm working tomorrow night. I bought him a box of his favorite chocolates and will leave it on his keyboard to find tomorrow morning.

I hated it when I was single.
I loved it when I was dating.
I am indifferent to it now that I'm married.
I did get him a box of his favorite chocolates though...

I suppose it's okay for some people but I think it's been "commercialized" to death and it's way way way over the top. It used to be a sweet little occasion but it's been turned into another reason to spend money. IMHO.

I didn't vote because I neither love or hate it. I buy the fur kids valentine type stuff. Sometimes send cards.

Andy's mom's B-day is Valentine's Day, so I sent her flowers.

If I get something, fine, if not, it's not the end of the world.

I don't know why people who are single go foaming crazy about hating it. I never did. It's just another day. Spend it with the people you love or care about, be it a boyfriend/girlfriend, parent, sibling, best friend, pet.

Even when I was dating someone, we never made special plans. One year we decided to go out to dinner and totally forgot it was Valentines Day till we saw the waiting area filled with flowers, balloons, and candy. *laughs*

It's not a big deal to me. This will be our first V-Day as a married couple and it really makes no difference to me. We aren't doing anything special, I work till 7pm and have to be back at work the next morning at 7am.

I love this time of year. Love is in the air Go out there and tell the ones you love

[sandragonfly]

not a biggie to me - (don't care). but if someone I know cares, sure I care. when I was little, our school had to share something, it was fun getting candies.

who knows I'll like it differently later once I have my love cuddlebug!

[Suki Wingy]

I really don't care that much but I love getting valentine's stuff for my birthday

[Mad Mags Moo]

Did not vote as i am neither for or against it really!
It is far too commercialised now....if you love someone you should let them know every day....why wait till February 14th!!! I tell my husband I love him at least once a day and I tell Bubble and Squeak I love them once a day if not more!!!!

It's a toss up. Saturday I would have said I hated it, due to my boyfriend and I spliting Saturday night. Today, we are close to getting back together so I sort of like it. It's a nice holiday, but if you don't have anyone it's mighty lonely.

[Muddy4paws]

I used to hate it because at school they made a big deal and you felt like the only one without a card

This year for me and my boyfriend its our first and he wants to take me out for a meal, He is really romantic and told me the day isn't passing without him taking me out for dinner lol We buy each other gift but he insists its a girls day and I should be buying him anything, I think the shops agree it seems impossible to buy a man a valentines gift without it being pink and girlish

[Toby's my baby]

I voted "dont care"

Usually im not into it, because I have ALWAYS had a boyfriend, and it was just something else to dwell on, for what to get, etc. . .BUT THIS year, i didnt have a boyfriend, and at my school, the student coucil was selling the soda "CRUSH" to send to your crushes, or you could my a bag that had chocolate and stuff for your friend. Well, there are a few guys in my school, that sorta have a crush on me, but I didnt think I would get anything. But long behold. . I went to my locker during 3rd hour, and it was WIDE open. I looked on top, and there was a stuffed teddy bear, chocolates, hot chocolate, and a coffee mug!!! It made my day. It was from a guy that has a huge crush on me, and I had a blast. He is so sweet, but he is one of my best friends, and I want it to stay that way. I had a great day, he made my smile all day long . .. .

well i guess it depends whether i'm single or not at the time. because in high school valentines day basically sucks if youre not with someone so up until now, i've never had a boyfriend on valentines day and i was just kinda like ehhh i dont really care, but that i do have one i kind of like it. bu ti do think it's been way too commercialized.
