I don't know about you, but I've never been a huge fan of Valentine's Day. Don't get me wrong - it's nice to give "extra" love to your loved ones on this day, but I have always felt that V Day is just a day for Hallmark to make more money. I feel the day is so commercialized that it loses its real meaning.
And besides, who wants to get flowers at work on the same day every other woman does? Doesn't that lose the "You're Special" part of getting flowers? That, and the obvious issue - flowers are four times the amount just this week during the year because stores know that people will pay the higher cost.
I'm so glad Tom is on the same page as I am with this. Yes, we tell each other "Happy Valentine's Day" on this day, but the love we have is so much deeper than going out of our way one day a year to tell each other. I would much prefer that we go out of our way to show each other how much we love them without a day on the calendar telling me I have to.
I guess I'm rambling now so I'll leave you with this:
To those that love the holiday, and to those that don't love it as much - Happy Valentine's Day.
