Valentines Day... yay or nay

**ramanth** · 02-13-2006, 01:35 PM

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

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!

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

Valentines day is relatively new in NZ, maybe been celebrated around five years now, it is only for sweethearts and wife's and husbands here, it is a big day for the retailer and some people go over board IMO, but it is a fun day all the same, and I say hey why not, if you want to celebrate it do, if not don't, i have had my disappointments on valentines day as my hubby is not the biggest on romance, and it just made me feel annoyed really, so i don't care to celebrate it really.,it puts too much expectations on people ..but i actually did get a card this year.

It's not a big thing here either but I did get a box of chocolates from the cat!

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!!!!

Well, it's sweet if you have a beau but other than that I think it's depressing and over commercialized. Yesterday I saw like 7 commericials on one channel telling them to buy this or that for V-day.
