Valentines Day - Page 3

Pi · 02-03-2007, 12:08 PM

By pure chance I got holidays and bought my airplane ticket to fly up to Finland. Only later I noticed that I would be with my girlfriend on Valentines Day. I'm completly out of practise of such things

But it seems they don't celebrate Valentine that much in Finland. We go to some restaurant she knows. I'll try to get some flowers. I thought about buying her a gift (ipod), but even before remembering Valentines day. And if we find a place we^ll go dancing that evening. She's quite of a good dancer and that's how we really met. I'm looking forward to Valentines day

The 15th is our wedding aniversary (9th, I think

) but Jim will be working I'm sure. Maybe we'll celebrate on the 14th this year like everyone else, but we'll save our dinner at Krazy Kats for a less crowded night. (although the V-day menu looks really good...)

He's big enough.

IMO, we should make our own... a surprise, from time-to-time.
Not something to make corporations a wad of jack on their made-up holiday.
Even better, every day should be Valentine's day.

I wont be spending v-day with Army dude, but I bought him a groovy Bath Robe , since he was quite taken with the ones from the Hotel.

Jinx - that menu does look awesome for Valentine's Day.

Oh and Grant, I'm coming too

I'm single and I hate Valentine's Day. Valentine's Day is a day designed to make single people miserable. The only people who seem to care about single people on Valentine's day are those who are trying to make money off them.

Valentine's Day is overrated anyway. It is primarily a marketing-driven gift occasion that falls between Christmas and Easter. While this does not diminish the genuine feelings of people who do something to mark the occasion, one must not be lured into the marketing hype.

I prefer the idea of surprise gifts. Don't underestimate the value of a bunch of flowers or other romantic gifts at random times. One shouldn't have to wait until Valentine's Day to give a gift that shows your love.

You know, I've spent many years where I've been single on valentines day. I've always felt that people who love each other don't need to have valentines day just to show their love.

I'd like to point out that those of us who do choose to do something special on that particular day are not suggesting that it's the only day they do special things for their lover.

Also, not everything people do on valentines day in order to do so costs a lot of money. For one thing, I don't think I've ever bought a valentines card, but that's just me. I'm sure it's different for everyone.

Usually the people I hear say, "It's all just commercial anyway, it's a money making scam" are men. A male friend of mine in a long term relationship would grumble about it every year, and yet it meant a lot to his partner.

Every year I would point out that neither he nor his partner were Christian and yet he was more than happy for her to lavish special love, care, presents and food on him and his family at this time of year...
