Every year I bring this up and every year I get completely shot down regarding the topic of Valentine’s Day and who likes it/celebrates it.  I think the consensus last year was that most everyone thinks it’s a silly holiday that should just be gotten over.  I always wholeheartedly disagree.

Is it more to do with you don’t have someone who properly celebrates it with you, or you just flat out think it’s dumb?  Mmm…..not sure.  I know it’s been brought up before how heavily commercialized it is.

PC takes very good care of me, it’s no secret he spoils me.  We go on dates fairly frequently, as well as enjoy dinners/activities out with the kiddos (for Mothers Day last year the four of us went to The Melting Pot).  He surprises me with Starbucks and gifts on a regular basis.  The romance is alive and well, we make sure it stays that way.  BUT that said, who doesn’t love their honey doing a little something special for them on the day that (IMO) signifies love?!

I have, although, never been a huge fan of the practice to dump tons of money into elaborate, expensive gifts.  I don’t think V-day *has* to be completely commercialized. I don’t expect lavish gifts….  A homemade card from my kiddos and some flowers with dinner from PC would make my day perfect.  And in return I usually plan to rock his world a bit more than usual. ~wicked grins~

So that all said….
I’ve heard several married men this week mention that they were boycotting the holiday.  But the most interesting, was another girl who has the PERFECT boyfriend, but he refuses to acknowledge the day and she’s quite upset over it.  Almost deal breaker upset.

So the question this week:
If you aren’t into the day, but your SO is, do you go ahead and celebrate it anyways, try to make it special for them?  Or try to make them understand this is just the way you are?

(IMO, you suck it up and do what is going to make the person you love happy, damnit)

Happy HUMP Day!!!
