Did you celebrate Valentines Day.....

[carole]

Now i realise it is not valentines day in the USA or Britain etc yet, but it is here today, just wondering after it has been and gone, how did you celebrate? and what if anything did you get?.

I got what i get every year a big fat zero lol, hubby is not very aware of valentines day, i have given up, so we don't celebrate it anymore,no more let down's for me,just expecting nothing is the best way for me to be,no disappointments then,however i would still love to hear from those who do celebrate it, and do maybe have romantic partners.

We do but we don't make a huge deal of it. I got my husband a travel mug with a picture of our boys on it and I know that he has ordered me some flowers.

Yes, Valentines Day is tomorrow and my boyfriend had told me we would have to wait and celebrate on Friday because he does volunteer work on Thursdays. So I was fine with that, or even not doing anything.
Well, I just came home tonight and he has the table set with flowers, candles, chocolate and a yummy dessert and he's fixing me dinner.
So it was a complete surprise, which he NEVER does. Very nice! I think I'll keep him. hee hee

Well, let's put it this way, I just asked hubby a few minutes ago what he got me for Valentines Day and he said "when is it?" I told him tomorrow and never mind I have a package coming later this week. We don't usually make a big deal of it.

Yes i have found it best not to make a big deal of it, i just end up feeling let down, so now i forget about it,mind you a little part of me just wishes he might suprise me with a chocolate rose or something little like that, i have hinted enough, but it does not register it would seem, lol, never mind i still enjoy hearing about other's experience's.

It is still relatively new in NZ, maybe five or so years,a bit more, but it was not celebrated here when i was young.,so i have never had the roses, chocolates,that sort of thing, heart balloons, soft toys or whatever, mind you i have had choccy's from boyfriends before for other occasions, but not valentines.

I am so glad you reminded me! I have my husband's gift under my desk. Need to sign the card and get it ready!

[Pembroke_Corgi]

Yes, I always get something for the kids in my family- my 6 year-old nephew and my cousin's daughters who are now 10 and 8. Usually a card, a little present and some candy of course.

My husband and I celebrate it sometimes if we feel like it. This year he got me a really nice gift (I always get my gifts early for everything!), I got a North Face sleeping bag that's supposed to be good for down to 20 degrees (we love to go camping but I always get cold). I can't wait until I get to use it!

I didn't get him anything yet, but I have had a hectic week and now I am sick- I was actually a little grumpy this morning because I felt so awful. I think I should at least get a card or something if I can rally myself out of the house besides going to work.

Not really, I got flowers and I cooked a nice dinner for tonight. We will spend the evening with our little girl Valentine! It's her day today

I don't celebrate Valentine's day either, but one thing made it a little special for me this year. I called Moosmom and had a good conversation. I love that young lady!
