Valentines is a made up commercial and consumerist holiday, to get you to feel guilty about not expressing your love any other time of the year the way that you should be. We do not celebrate at all, although since our 6 year old does not really understand that, we do give her a couple of little treats, but for ourselves, nothing. And your right, when you watch the advertising, it really is geared towards women, and not men. It is just another part of our society that we are expected to conform to.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2937335840707686978.post-77449505320316591492010-02-14T09:37:07.684-06:002010-02-14T09:37:07.684-06:00I completely agree with you.

My hubby mentioned this morning as he headed off for a 16 hour day in the restaurant that one day he would be with me/ get me something fab for Vday. I told him if I didn't know he loved me by now then that was sad. Every day is Vday with him, I don't need (or want) candy or flowers just because he feels pressured into it. <br /><br />The imaginary flowers he gave me one day because he loved me and we could not afford real ones? THOSE will mean more to me than any Vday gift ever.Tracy DeLucahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11741412524412723632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2937335840707686978.post-58018911278006111642010-02-14T06:52:48.692-06:002010-02-14T06:52:48.692-06:00I really like the idea of staying at home with win...I really like the idea of staying at home with wine and a blanket on the floor. I think things like that which are much more focused on your actual relationship really beat the crap out of fighting the crowds because you're right, there really are 50 million other people waiting for a table at that restaurant too. lol Good for you guys. I hope you have had a wonderful and romantic weekend together!Lyonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15306602792203116316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2937335840707686978.post-49380987859259780512010-02-13T19:50:43.345-06:002010-02-13T19:50:43.345-06:00Lucky for my Hubby I never expect anything on this...Lucky for my Hubby I never expect anything on this day from him except his time and that he always gives me. <br /><br />Thank you for the comment on my blog about my basket.<br /><br />WillowAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2937335840707686978.post-40564178198574918572010-02-13T18:10:50.710-06:002010-02-13T18:10:50.710-06:00I hope you and Vincent have a loving, romantic, se...I hope you and Vincent have a loving, romantic, sexy weekend. :)Bridgetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04844738855874754351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2937335840707686978.post-40924672477433697642010-02-13T11:36:19.209-06:002010-02-13T11:36:19.209-06:00I gave up eating the candy a long time ago.

Most women want to just be thought of, it's not about the fancy gift. Although Valentine's day is a commercial holiday, my boyfriend and I exchange gifts every year. I enjoy another excuse to dote on him and wrap up a gift in heart covered packaging. Everyday really should be about showing love to your Valentine, in the end, having someone to share love with is such a blessing.Illustrated Inkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07727509230595569742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2937335840707686978.post-75491558757977044962010-02-13T10:27:55.085-06:002010-02-13T10:27:55.085-06:00You are so right!

I like to place notes in his shirt, pants and jacket pockets. He loves to reach in a pocket and find a note or a handful of candy. He loves chocolate as much as I do. With him traveling, I like to put pictures in his bag too. <br /><br />(((HUGS)))Dedehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02821482775305463539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2937335840707686978.post-59204638530029947632010-02-13T10:16:34.686-06:002010-02-13T10:16:34.686-06:00I just mentioned yesterday how unfair it is to men...I just mentioned yesterday how unfair it is to men. I have NEVER gotten flowers. No box of chocolate. No jewelry. No neat little gadget with lights that beeps and requires 2 AA batteries (hey, I'm a guy!). I made the observation that we buy the gifts, and the only gift we're to expect in return is that "gratitude lay" afterwards. Oh you got me flowers, I'll give you sex. It kind of cheapens the whole deal. <br /><br />I don't expect anything on Valentine's Day, and yet I LOVE to give on V-Day. I love to give EVERY day. And I do. I don't think there's any question of that. But yeah, it's just one of those holidays where it's so ingrained now you just can't get over feeling like you HAVE to do something.<br /><br />For everytime I've heard, "You don't have to get me anything for Valentine's Day", I've also heard behind the words, "But I'd be disappointed if you don't". It's built in to the whole thing. <br /><br />It's a holiday founded on guilt, obligation, and expectations, which I think.... is what society's view of LOVE today is.Ryan Suttonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04944307836865627332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2937335840707686978.post-81817061642792267562010-02-13T10:04:50.577-06:002010-02-13T10:04:50.577-06:00~i too agree...why such a day came to be...why cel...~i too agree...why such a day came to be...why celebrate the beauty and magic of love on just one certain day...aren't we suppose to embrace love and give love each and everyday??? we for the last 12 years have stayed home too...quiet and intimate...we cook together indulge in sweets and just savor the day as a family...why go out and share such with millions of other people...waiting in long lines...uugghh...no gifts as we feel our love should be enough...your cupid shot down is a riot...thank you for sharing your thoughts...brightest blessings~brandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16319756453755628466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2937335840707686978.post-44681482933045857532010-02-13T09:48:05.880-06:002010-02-13T09:48:05.880-06:00Spoken like a true romantic.
