Do You Valentine?

Valentine's Day is coming up -- and, as a reader and writer of romance, I feel oddly bound to defend it. But, the simple fact is this: my husband and I don't celebrate the holiday. Our reason? Why choose one day to show how much you love someone?

We don't do cards... or flowers... or candy. The simple fact is this: we take care of each other every day, all year long.

His friends think he's so lucky because he doesn't "HAVE" to buy me a diamond necklace, or take me out to a fancy dinner. And I wonder what kind of relationship his friends have with their significant others if the "HAVE" to buy expensive gifts or end up in the dog house.
What about you? Do you force your SO to buy you something on V-Day? Do you celebrate it? Do you feel like you have to top yourself every year? How do you feel about Valentine's Day? Do tell!

I agree, Mysti.
Just last week I got a box of Lindt for no reason at all. Yep, ate it all in one go. Three weeks ago, a bunch of roses, for no reason at all – couldn’t eat those though. We like the sudden surprise that comes with an unexpected gift - waiting for a specific day would certainly kill that. The best gift I can give my husband is cook him a meal,I keep that as unexpected as possible. LOL. But the most important gift we give each other is unconditional love and that doesn’t need to be punctuated with a diamond necklace or gold cufflinks…and never just because it’s Valentine’s Day.
Ditto what April said!
