Valentine's Day - Clicky
I'm sure this has been done before. For some people Valentine's Day is a big deal.. others really don't think so. Just curious what percentage of SN think it is or isn't.

Re: Valentine's Day - Clicky
We give each other a card and usually a little something. Not because it's a tradition or anything, and usually it's something useful.
Last year John made dinner and we had a candle light dinner with wine at home.

I've gotten a card once in 7 years - because I begged for one.
I give a card to him every year.
This year he will be out of state on a nearly 2 week trip during that time.
Best sound ever: baby's heartbeat! (Heard @ 10w1d)

jumped ship to the new and improved nest. back to TB for baby boards.
we never do anything.. but i've been dropping hints that i'd like h to start taking me out on dates.
i wouldn't have cared except a while ago he mentioned he wanted to take me out more often to 'show' me off. it was sweet and i'd just like to not cook every night.
hopefully he'll take the hint and buy me a steak and some lava cake. lol. i would even go without the card.
I hate the concept of Valentine's Day and so I have told H a long time ago to not spend any money on it for me - no cards, no flowers (this came after he paid over $100 for a rose bouquet and I freaked out at how he got so ripped off), etc.
We may go out to dinner, but that would be just because we're going out to dinner, not because it is Valentine's Day.
I am of the opinion that I do not need to be reminded to tell H how much I love him, nor should he need to be reminded. I think Valentine's Day is just a commercialized gimmick by companies to make $$$ so I don't like it at all.
I like to go out to a dive-y spot and eat really bad-for-you, greasy food on V-day
My favorite spot we've been to in the past was Beth's.
I don't see the point of spending big $$$ on dinner for V-day, but I still want to celebrate with my love somewhere w/o big crowds.

We don't do cards for basically anything, lol, even birthdays and Christmas.
We might do a special dinner at home, if we think about it, or go out, if we feel like it.
Usually, we'll exchange small, geeky gifts -- like a video game. Once, he got me a pair of fuzzy d20 dice for the car.
Stuff like that.
And, usually, I write him a puzzle to solve on Valentine's Day.
this is cute. i like it. any examples i can plagiarize?

TTC #2 for a million years: SA normal, CD 23 bloodwork shows nothing amiss, ovulation detected. Next step: ? maybe CD3 bloodwork to check eggs? All out of pocket, so limited IF tests/treatments.
I think that is amazing
We don't usually do anything too big - I usually make/get him a card, but that's because I'm a card person haha. And usually he just cooks a nicer than normal dinner.I think a lot of holidays have become commercialized gimmicks, but I think it's sweet to have a special day to recognize your love for each other - something more than just the day-to-day I love you's. It's kind of like Christmas or Mother's day to me - I see my family pretty regularly, but Christmas is a special time for family. And my mom knows I love her, but Mother's day is a day to really show her how much I appreciate her. It's hard to look past the money making behind it all, but if you just do something small at home, it takes out the commercialization and makes it special again. Just my two cents on the whole thing
oooh! I love this idea! H is a total gamer, I'll have to keep this in mind for the future
This, I've hated Valentine's Day since about 6th or 7th grade when it stopped being just another day when we got candy.H and I have other days that we acknowledge our love. We have the daily things we do for each other, but now that we're married, we'll probably still celebrate the anniversary of our first official date.
I made this big stink out of hating it right when H asked me about it in the beginning. We'd only been dating a week or so and I didn't want him to be pressured so early in the relationship, and it is how I truly feel...and then he looked chagrined and I had to backpedal and it turned out he had been excited to have a girlfriend on Vday finally for the first time. So...now we celebrate Oregon's birthday (the day my home-state joined the Union) and Ferris Wheel Day (birthday of the inventor of the FW). I used to always watch a violent action movie...so now we usually watch a non-romantic movie and we eat pizza because it's shaped like a Ferris Wheel, complete with spokes.
