We never did go over the top. We'd usually celebrate by going out for dinner and not exchanging gifts. Our son is a Valentine's baby so now it's all about his birthday more than anything else.

5 years and we are down to cards only. Plus humping. Baby making is fun.

We won't do anything. Maybe cards, maybe not. I bet he'll forget anyway. Also, we both have to work.

So that commercialized holiday where people feel forced to buy things for their loved ones is coming up. 3 questions come to mind:
Is Valentines Day a holiday specifically for couples or do you celebrate it as a holiday for love in general.


I feel it's for couples. Some of my friends celebrate it for love in general, but I really think of it as a couples only holiday. As I am currently part of a pair, I won't be celebrating most likely :D

Do you celebrate Valentines Day or do you feel that this holiday is contrived to guilt you into spending money to prove your love?


When in a relationship, of course. Single, nope.

And are you doing anything for the holiday?


Nope!

Fundamentally, the gf and I are both of the opinion that VDay is bad bad joke. Couples shouldn't need to be told on which day to celebrate their love, even more so when this process is entirely driven by commercial imperatives. It puts pressure on couples to spend money, makes single people feel inadequate, and is generally a retarded concept. Seriously. Love Day? It's hard to believe we've sunken that low as a society.

Having said that, I'm cooking my girlfriend dinner, and we'll drink a nice bottle of Champagne.


This. Without the champagne.yucky stuff.

Probably a nice bottle of NZ Pinot instead.

Vday banninated in UK school

I am not a fan of those "mandatory" hoidays. Christmas, New Year and Valentines all feel cheap to me. I would rather someone spent some time, and less money surprising me with a present or flowers at a completely random time of the year. Surprise me!

My best 'Valentines' treat was in January when an ex surprised me with a lovely romantic dinner and night out, "just because" Smiley: nod

Just so you know, that sort of naive idealism with a dash of anti-conformity for anti-conformity's sake is only cute until you hit puberty. Once the fuzz sprouts it's time to grow up.

This thread reminds me that Joph Jr never requested the traditional box of Transformers/Harry Potter/Pokemon themed Valentine's Day cards this year. Maybe his class isn't doing that for the 5th grade.

Xavier specifically asked me for foil Revenge of the Fallen Transformer cards for his classmates. And if they didnt have those, Transformers. And if they didnt have those wold I please look for Star Wars Clone Wars. I liked how his school is asking for no candy but theyre doing a mini class celebration and asked each table to bring in specific types of snacks. Xavier is bringing in grapes.I wasnt going to do anything for Ashes preschool but I got an email last week saying some parents were asking about it and it was optional. So we decided to try and make Chocolate Vday frog and lady bug lollipops. Ashe decided to also get Transformer cards and tape them to the lollipop bags.

You also didn't pick up on the line I thought you would. Way to go.

V-day been about love for someone special in your life. I used to make sure I gave my girls cards when they were young, as well as a card for my spouse.

Now it's about wondering if Jonwin will remember to get me a different card then the year before and a bag of dark chocolate candy.

I try to remember to get him a card before hand, but then some years i just don't get out of the house enough to buy one. He gets snuggles and of course there is extra special effort to make our love making last until we both pass out, happily satisfied with the love we share.

My 4 year old grand daughter spend the other day trying to cut out hearts. She says she has the V part down, but can't get the hump right. Any plans her pre-k class may have had is canceled due to fact that they won't be back in school until Tuesday at the earliest. That is as long as Monday's storm stays as the wimpy storm currently forecasting.

Couples, I suppose. I've never given it very much thought since I plan my runs of single-hood between Christmas and Valentine's Day.

The former.

Quote:

It's Saturday, yes? I'm taking a certification exam for work, then going to a bar, getting plastered, and making out with slutty chicks.

She's a bit young for that anyway, isn't she?

Using scissors, that is.
