I never was a big fan of Valentine's Day, but these days, I'm a huge fan of any excuse to make cookies! I will mark almost any occasion that allows me to bake.
Last year, I made gifts for a few of my single friends with some made from scratch sweetheart cookies and chocolate dipped strawberries, along with a note reminding them they were loved. Honestly, it was probably one of the best Valentine's Days I've had. I didn't get any cards or gifts myself, but I had a blast making, packaging, and delivering the goodies!

Gahhh.....I am not really a fan of celebrating it romantically. That is wayyyyyy too cliché and cheesy for my asshole-ish nature.
Normally, my fellow sarcastic smart-ass local friends and I get together and go out...all the while, my one bestest friend loudly proclaims a "Happy VD Day" to everyone she sees. It may have a little something to do with each of us being a particular shade of jaded.   ETA: As I just told a friend, love is wonderful and I too love to love. BUT....I am not a fan of commercialized love. |

Most of these holidays were commercialized for profit. I like to surprise my loved one with random acts of love and appreciation.

I think it's an odd holiday - I celebrate it by giving my children gifts. This year a ring for my daughter and a box of Omaha Steaks for my son who is at college... untraditional, but you can never say "I love you" too often. I've always enjoyed celebrating with the babies more than with my partner(s).

the older I get, the less likely I am to get excited about holidays based on consumerism. Valentines Day is about expensive dinners, chocolates, jewelry, roses and stuffies and cards.
chrissy shows me everyday how much he loves me. as I do for him too. Our actions speak volumes

I believe in celebration for any reason. Life is too short and the commercialism doesnt play into my celebration or the smiles on my loved ones faces.
Its another day and i will gladly...cook a nice dinner for someone and put a card in their handbag and notes in their coat pocket. ANY reason to make a day a lil special.....IM ALWAYS GAME! SO... what i,m trying to say is i like holidays.... like valentines day too! |

I do love Valentine's day but then I love any holiday. People make more effort to share time together during a holiday or traditional celebration and that coming together is what is the best part of it for me. You don't have to spend much money or any money at all. A quick phone call to someone you love is enough. If money is tight (we've all been there) bake some sweets or cut hearts from magazines and stick them on the back of a cereal box. Holidays are not about who gives the most impressive gifts. If you believe that then you're not doing it right! If there isn't that special someone in your life (or even if there is) take some heart sweets into work for everyone to share...
It's the little things that make the biggest impression on me.

One of my best Valentine's day evenings was when I was single. I was swimming laps at a gym, and felt so peaceful, alone with the other swimmers. It felt romantic and memorable.

Ahhh- Valentine's Day.
Such mixed emotions people have about the day. I love the "spirit" of the day - what it represents - what I don't like is that the commercialism of the day - makes people who don't have a "significant" other - feel less than what they should - which is not the case at all - that being said..I'm an old school romantic - but if you only show your love to the one you love on "valentine's day" - something is very wrong... If you (really) love someone - even if times are rough between you...everyone has rough times - but - if you (really) love someone - then everyday - should be a celebration of that love - in (some) way...if we all practiced that "everyday" celebration of that love - we wouldn't "need" a special day for it... All that being said - I love to spoil the one I love - in every way I can - and in some small way every day - even if it is simply to tell her she is amazing - and she knows I mean it by the way I look at her - that I'm not just (speaking words)... Women love flowers and chocolates (most anyway) - and cards and special dinners and candlelight and romance and dancing...so why would you save all those things she loves to just "give" her on one day of the year...to give those to her ALL year - is love ... and more than that... it's your time - attention - remembering to take out the garbage - cooking dinner (even) if you can't cook - drawing her bath - making a cup of her favorite tea (actually knowing what her favorite cup of tea is) - going on a long drive - and making out in the car - the unexpected stop at the roadside diner for sloppy bbq and a night under the stars...its the everyday - effort of at least "trying to rope the moon for her" ... its simply loving her - (and) showing her every day - that she is the single most cherished woman in the world (by you). It is honoring her in your every word and action - not about how much you spend for flowers. Just my two cents worth...

Sadly I am the type that will spend $60.00 on ingredients to make a cake that could have been bought for a third the cost at a bakery and looked a lot more attractive to boot. I imagine this is a bit off putting to any potential paramour.  I began a tradition with my 10 year old years ago that starting the evening of Jan. 31st I tape a handmade paper heart to her bedroom door. In the middle of it is written a reason why I love/admire her. By Feb. 14th her door is covered with hearts reminding her of all her special gifts and what she has to offer the world.
