As a child, my birthday cake was always decorated with Valentine hearts. You would think that I would be into Valentine's day, but I am not. Valentine's day is in my mind the equivalent to New Year's Eve. You go out to a crowded and more expensive dinner. You expect the day or night to be the best one of the year. It's just too much pressure. I suppose I have never had a great Valentine's day.
I think it is great to take time out to express good feelings to people. I do not have a problem with people celebrating it. Mike and I do not do anything for it either. I find that we find our own version of in throughout the years. Here are some pictures of what I mean. We challenge each other to achieve and find beauty in the world. I would not trade that for a dozen roses.

Well, you deserve a dozen roses anyhow, but not necessarily today. Ann and I have come to an agreement not to buy stuff for each other for V day. She does enough for me all through the year, I don't need her to buy me heart shaped candy to know that she cares!

Pat and I don't celebrate it either. However, we do make an effort to make it a bit special for J. We don't give presents but we do give and allow more treats on V day...hmmm candies!
For kids it is cool to make it special. All the kids I see today were wigging out.
