Mainly I think it is a contrived holiday. I mean seriously how many relationships have been killed by the Valentine's Day Kiss of Death. The guy forgets to get the woman in his life flowers or a card or dinner reservations, and she, well she holds it against him until the end of time!
I'm not a fan for a whole lot of reasons, mainly I just don't enjoy the holiday. I would rather my husband tell me he loves me every day of the year rather than save it all up for Valentine's Day and our anniversary. I'm not saying a card wouldn't be nice, Sgt D is an amazing poet and I love when he writes me nice little notes in cards, but please don't go and blow our budget on some stupid gesture like roses that are just going to die in a week. That is not how I want our love represented, with something that has the life span of an ant!
So for all of you that are really looking forward to Valentine's Day, ask yourselves this question: Is the fact that he remembered to get you flowers or chocolates really a sign of his love, or does he demonstrate it daily throughout the year? Be honest with yourself now. I hope for the sake of your relationship he is showing you daily and not saving it all up for one frivolous day.
Sorry to be a killjoy, but I just don't like contrived holidays, in case you are wondering I'm not a big fan of Halloween either. Hopefully as Toddler D gets older, I can get more "in the spirit" so that she has a chance at enjoying the day.
