Did you enjoy valentines day or do you not celebrate it .


I am interested in getting your perspective about if and what it means to you if it does at all .

    Since it was yesterday - it's over. To me, it's a commercial holiday but to children who love to get cards, to those who think a gift on the holiday is important - I guess it's a real holiday.


    I received a lovely box of chocolates from my son - and I made homemade banana pudding for my d-in-law for the holiday. That's the extent of our 'celebration'.



    Hallmark, candy companies and florists do well on Valentine's Day....everyone else just goes along with it.

    If in a relationship I usually made the effort with my partner. I did wish a couple of women I know "Happy Valentines" and got one back from each. Seems to be an American thing to do this and was never done in the UK where I harken from, except, while in primary school, 5 to 11, where we sent cards to each other.

    But really, I consider it to be for significant others. Never did it to show that I was attracted to someone.

      I think it's difficult for people that don't love them selves or those people that have been recently widowed

        Me and wifey had a lovely meal at a place called Cheddars. We decided to skip the evening rush and went at 12 noon. Other than that I gave cards to my wife and daughters as well as flowers and gift cards.

        It was a good day but I could honestly go without it. We should love each other 365 days out of the year not just celebrate it one day out of the year . Just my two cents

    tbh, for Moi, Valentines evokes an' rewards the finest hopes an' sensayshwaahns gowin' for evry single hooman seekin' togathahness of consummate romance.

    Soft an' luscious glory drips from evry availabyool panorama surely as the bzzt bzzt bzzt of desiah fires up so tangibly in yr blendyjuicy areah you could real easy get yusself arrested on a pupil dilation ticket alone.

    * sighs *

    It is Feb 15th now, an' ima cummin' down offa the whole sweetsylicious deal.

    Naysayers (an' they abound now in numbahs, hellbent on shuttin' down Smoochie As We Know It) would considah Valentines to be a distractin' frivolity ... naht worthy of its place in our calendah of togethahness.

    So what if it were to be GONE sum day, along with Hallowe'een, an' othah stuff we agreed for sum time we wanna celebrate?

    Before celebration comes consent.

    An' when it comes to Valentines celebs, I would nevah evah wanna relent.

    An arrow fired straight through your heart that don't actschwlly killya but maintains an' empowahs yah is the neatest myth-to-flesh inspiration EVAH.

    Love to all, even though I jus' burned muh lips on sum stoopid potato I jus' microwaved all wrong.

    In my heart, I would MWAH MWAH MWAH freely here, but I bleedin' on my blouse rn.

    Hey but **** it; it will wash.

    We went to the casino for a few hours, had a decent dinner...not sure it constitutes a date, since neither of us hit anything worth bragging about... but we scored a ton of treats today at Walgreen's 50% OFF, lol

    For celebrating Valentine's Day, a girlfriend is needed and I don't have any.
    So, for me, it was a normal day as usual. :xD
