I think it's a great idea. However Jacqui, I think you can agree with me that some of individuals that share your gender will SAY that you don't need to do anything for them for V-day , but they'll be upset if you don't acknowledget it at all on the actual day. I'm not claiming that you are one of those girls, beause I know you personally, but there are girls out there. I know, it's stereotypical, but guys, back me up! I wrote some little notes and pasted them around the house the night before so when lindzee woke up (she wakes up before me), she would see them. Then, I just gave her my debit card and said, here's money to get your hair highlighted, etc up to a certain limit. Now, we're going out to eat tonight, instead of yesterday. So, we rarely actually do anything on actual valentine's day, but I usually always acknowledge it. Even though I don't need to, I still succumb to societ in some way and do something for her even though love should be shown 365 days a year, not just one. I don’t disagree with you at all.

But Shawn and I like to celebrate the weekend after V-day....we know V-day is all about a made up holiday to sell more things, why would I want myself or hubby to buy flowers for 25 bucks on v-day when the day after they will be half off? Why do I need chocolates in the shape of hearts when regular chocolate is cheaper? Also, we don't go out to eat, what is more romantic then a cozy dinner at home? (sometimes I cook and other times I order out, frugally of course) I know some will disagree but it works for us.
