Great point. Better to avoid the holiday all together if your significant other agrees.

while I admire you for not getting caught up in the hype of commercialized holidays, I think buying all you can when the prices go down, helps to continue this phenomenon. Why not stay completely clear of all things “Valentine”. When we buy all the cheap crap from China, we are not helping the environment, our country, sweat shops, or anything else. And then we have to buy some magazines that tell us how to organize all our stuff or how to get rid of it!!

We actually do this most years when my hubby isn’t deployed. He will cook a fantastic meal for me on the 14th and we’ll get each other presents a few days after. It’s a great way to celebrate. As long as we’re together, it doesn’t matter when we celebrate. Actually we celebrate Vday almost every day of the year!

Those are great ideas!

I am with ya on that whole commercialization of holidays thing we got going on. It irritates me to no end.

As long as my dh lets me know he loves me EVERY DAY I am good. He doesn’t have to bring me chocolate, I can get my own, and as long as he doesn’t rub it in that it’ll make me fat.. I’m good with that! LOL

I cannot stand these “holidays” !! Huge waste of mulah.

It is such a good idea – we don’t really bother with Valentine’s in our house but I might talk to Hubby and do this. This would be fun – and affordable.

Celebrating simply is great for me! Although dh does try to buy me my favorite chocolates from Sees. We are going to just enjoy food, fun, and family on Valentines. I enjoy making yummy gifts. I made him a huge chocolate chip cookie heart one year. Other times I’ve made truffles or his favorite desserts.

I really like your perspective on this. We are so over the “If you don’t bring home flowers or chocolate on February 14th, then you must not love me….”

We know that we love each other because of the way it is demonstrated day after day, year after year. No way that one day could make or break that!

Going to check out your cheap dates…
