Valentines Day... yay or nay

**sandragonfly** · 02-13-2006, 03:20 PM

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.

I thought it was always okay.

I'm dating someone, so maybe this year it'll be my first Valentine.

I don't care for it all. What is the history of Valentine's day? It has no religious meaning to me, therefore, I do not care for it.

I am not depressed because I don't have a boyfriend, and even if I had one, I STILL wouldn't care for it.

To me, Valentine's day is just any other day..

It was created for Saint Valentine, a catholic saint but no one celebrates it that way.. to bad I would like it a lot more if they did.

Yup! Thats what I was gonna say

St. Valentine is the patron on Lovers. ♥ Just do a google search on it...

So yeah, it DOES have a religious meaning...

I haven't liked Valentines Day since fifth grade. I gave out Valentines
to every other kid in my class & did not get even 1 card from anyone.

I was crushed.

**sandragonfly** · 02-13-2006, 05:44 PM

hugs hugs liz. if I were in the same school, you would get one candy from me!

I don't care at all about Valentines day. My family has never done anything special on it, it's just another day to us.

**king2005** · 02-13-2006, 10:06 PM

It gives me a reason to go out for a NICE dinner with Rob.. however, he hates ALL holidays & refuses to do anything

Makes me quite sad, as I see holidays as something to look forward to, as my childhood SUCKED & only had a GREAT day holidays (I love to give!)

It's never been a big thing for me so I guess I'd say I'm indifferent. The only reason I really pay attention is as a warning not to call my mom for a week before or after it....she's a floral manager.
