I loved reading all these posts...We don't celebrate Valentines Day on a yearly basis, but sometiems we'll buy a card & once in awhile I'll get a surprise at work...flowers, balloons, candy, etc. A couple years ago when I got to work in the morning, there was a big "walking heart" balloon in my office & candy on my desk...my hubby had snuck them in there b/f I got to work. I work w/ all men, so they had a hay day with that!! Lol! They gave my hubby a really hard time for making them look bad & of course they teased him about being a suck up...so that will probably never happen again! Lol!! Some years I make a nice meal, & some years we just have other things going on... We always say "Happy Valentines Day" (my hubby is a UPS driver, so he has no excuse for forgetting...he delivers a lot of Valentines presents! Lol!!) & it's always a special day....we just don't always do the commercialized thing & buy each other something. But I think it's a great day! I especailly like it when it falls through the week & we use it as an excuse to go out to eat! :smile:
