I always have! It was some FF-ing capitalist that probably owned a chocolate company that bribed a politician to make Valentine's Day a official holiday. Your dammed if you do and most certainly dammed if you don't. I'd rather show love when I'm in the mood, and not because the calendar says I should!

I will be getting my cats some heart shaped cat nip treats.

I had to look up what ash Wednesday is... Rehearsal for what?

I definitely won't go out to dinner as everywhere will be packed. I'll hang with my dog and maybe my BFF or...

I love Valentine's Day! Actually, I don't care about Valentine's Day itself, but I love when all the damned candy goes on sale for ridiculously low prices the following day. I like the Monday after easter and the first of November too.

As I am in retail, I am pretty cynical about what I call VD ayyyy

My duties are inventory control/ pricing integrity related so I will be tasked with handling the markdowns. I will get the grandkids their favorite candy and they are fine with it because they understand that they get twice as much by waiting a day.

My last 3 relationships which ranged over a 20+ year period were also in retail so even though we made token attempts, we were both of the same mindset

I am one of those people that think if you have to be forced to show appreciation on a holiday, then your relationship has issues

I think I’ll go grocery shopping, lines should be low. I thought about getting some people having a hard time with Valentine’s Day some chocolate, so I may still act sporadically, not sure how I’ll feel later.

I do Valentine themed stories and crafts for the kids at school (I'm a school librarian) but I do nothing for myself or anyone else. It's just another day.

But now that you mention it, do you (or anyone else here) do Valentine-y things (like give cards or flowers) for people you love but not in a romantic way? In other words, do you consider Valentine's day to be strictly for romantic love or just for love in general? I always thought it was weird to give Valentines to parents or children, but I think most people don't find it weird at all.

Sadly I will be celebrating it, as I have no lady.... Any offers considered.

Valentine's Day? Am I supposed to do something I would not on other days?

My wife and I both ignore all holidays. They are folk festivals of sorts and we are both recluses and therefore we obstain from those meaningless non-events.

Give your best to your people everyday.

Read my book for my book club. Valentine's Day has become, like other holidays, very commercial.

I plan on doing nothing out of the ordinary for the day.

It is a rather auspicious occasion down under, 52 years since we switched from sterling to decimal currency, other than that tis a great big zero in my books.

I'll be doing my Spanish homework.

I think it's overrated, designed to sell cards and candy, and makes people feel awful if they're not in a relationship or the relationship they're in makes them unhappy. I'm treating it like any other day.

Stock up on choclate the day after.

Valentine is a made up holiday. Read my post about it.
