The TV, radio, social media pages are running amok with jewelry, and flowers etc. advertising.
It is, and always has been just another Hallmark and Candy day. Why people still buy in to the silliness of it, boggles my mind. And I know people who have gotten all sideways because their significant other didn't lavish them with gifts or dinner etc. on this day.
My theory is, that if people need a day set aside that is dictated by the calendar to say "I love you" , then they've got bigger problems with their relationships that should be dealt with.
My princess and I have been together for 53 years and married for 52 of them and we say "I love you" many times each day. We look out for and care for one another like we promised in our wedding vows and we always will. We put each other first EVERY DAY. So, Valentines Day? It's a joke!

LOL, you don't have to cancel the dinner reservations or the gift. Just enjoy them with your bride because you love her, NOT because the calendar says you have to. I'm guessing John that you are a husband who shows love in many ways all year around.

Geez George...now you got me thinking that my Cupid costume rental and archery lessons were a step too far! I'm rattled!

We just went out for dinner, it was OUR gift to us. You know dinner plans are going to be hectic tomorrow. So we decided to do it today. Tomorrow's just another day.😊

George, I agree. We tell each other we love one another many times a day. We care for each other and do lots of fun things together like traveling. Valentine's Day is a hassle... we'll have a special lunch on Wednesday.
