I got married on Halloween so me, or my hubby wouldn't forget our anniversary.

In the Netherlands, where I come from originally, Valentine's Day is a day when you send an anonymous card or letter (or something like that) to someone you love but don't dare to approach on a normal day. That, I like.

Same in the UK

It has been hijacked to become a general love day in other countries but not quite yet over here.

Sunflowers are my favorite flower.
Sunflowers brighten any day.

Sinbad the comedian said he was so sick of how Valentine's Day was commercialized that he was going to buy his woman flowers every day in February except the 14th just to make a point.

but what if the woman is expecting the biggest surprise on the 14th?

I don't see what's so wrong with commercialization. There are worse things like guns.

And I kinda like Valentine's day. But for my odd Fircoal reasons. :lol:

I disagree, but that is for another thread.

It's so-so. I like having a kinda special day. I don't feel any obligations to it, though.

My partner bought me a Casio keyboard from a pawnshop. I liked that very much.

My husband tricked me! We have a deal that we don't have to buy eachother stuff... yesterday I got a new hoody and matching pants from Victorias Secret. I do like my new outfit though!

Woke up, made a pot of coffee. Wife wakes up, gives me a kiss I give one back. "Happy Amateur day hun". She reply's, "Happy Amateur Day hun". :wink:

On my first non-single valentine I gave my GF a pistol in a heart-shaped box. She was thrilled of course.
