Yeah, it is a total crap holiday... and it's not a holiday for the ladies either.

I'm all about love, and showing the person you love just how much you care. That should be done every day... not on one specific day just because Hallmark tells us. I mean, how many people even KNOW the real story behind St.Valentine anyway these days?

You guys think it's rough... but as a girl, there is a whole new can of worms. See, I think society has us programmed to expect something special. Sure, I can tell my man, and tell myself that it's not a big deal and we shouldnt make a big production over it. Yet, in the back of your mind there's something lingering which expects some magical and romantic night...something original. Then, when the actual day comes, you generally get the typical flowers or chocolate, and some cheesy Hallmark card and dinner out where you get to watch all the other couples going through the same crap.

Then, if you are a single woman you have to cope with the thought of being alone. Lots of cheesy bar things aimed at single people going out and having meaningless one night stands. Another Valentine's joy. Round up your girlfriends and go get drunk to cope.

This year, I honestly have no clue what the heck to do for my husband. We're also so low on funds it makes it a lot more stressful. We did order some really awesome wine which is aimed for lovers and blessed by a shaman. http://www.summerhill.bc.ca/wine_shop/index.php?item=100
I got it because my favorite faery artist Brian Froud's artwork was used on the label. Plus, it's organic wine, which is something I appreciate a lot. Still, I have no clue what sort of "gift" to get hubby. Sure, I could go get some fancy new lingerie or buy him a new watch... but is that really worth our utility money? and do I want him using the same funds to get me something? No.... yet I know if he listens to me and doesnt spend any money on me, I will get all moody and depressed.

Oh yay, what a great holiday.

It felt good to vent.

No cards, no restaurants, no flowers or chocolates - I'll be making some fudge instead.

Alright, while I do agree that it is a consumer-driven holiday, does it hurt to set one day aside where it is expected to be cheesy romantic? While it might just be something for profit, don't you find that sometimes you need that break to just appreciate a day that you only are expected to share with your significant other?

And for those without someone, go out buy yourself a bag of candy, it is on sale after the 14th. Don't worry bout not being with someone, you only live once, enjoy what you do have in life. Rent your favorite movie, take a walk, set aside the time for yourself.

Those that have someone, but are separated for whatever reason, this gives you a great excuse to just call and talk for awhile, or send them that special something in the mail.

And you don't need to get anything material, it can be something you make, something you write for them, just something. Does it hurt to be cheesy every once in awhile? This is the day to do something, whether it be with someone or yourself, but just appreciate what you do have in life, don't let anything prevent you from doing that-who really cares if it is a commercial holiday? You can find something to do with it that makes you happy.

I posted this as a reminder, but not so you went out and bought something for your significant other, but as a reminder that Monday is a day to stop and just appreciate what you have in your life, what you love in your life. Don't fall into the trap/mindset that you need to buy something or make some outlandish romantic gesture, just be you, but know that that is the day that you can set aside for something extreme-if you want.

Sorry, I didn't mean to upset anyone.

Valentine used to be the day, that when you had a crush on someone and could let them know; you could do so without getting slapped.

When you have someone it was the day to let them know that you love/care for them and thank them for their company.

But now its how much money you spend lets the other know how much you care, its not right and to me is cheap.
I just want to take a walk and talk the quiet talk and enjoy each others company.
You know like, let the other know you enjoy their company.
To me thats a special night, money not necessary.
