"Dont dislike it. But its not really something im into personally. I dont need a specific day to be romantic to a partner buy flowers or a meal out etc as i do that as and when i feel the mood to do it. So i find valentines day just another way to make money commercially. Thats my personal view" but traditionally it's the day to celebrate the Christian Sant Valentine. Abd I dare say its origins are older than the catholic fath as they often placed their own celebrations on or near other celebrations. | |||

IT'S YOUR CHOICE. | |||

"It's a pointless, made up day invented just to make money! Real romance is about the simple little things that you do for your partner every day. It has nothing to do with grand overblown gestures on a single day. Nothing to do with going out to dinner, crammed in so you can barely move your arms to eat. And most definitely nothing to do with spending a fortune on jewellery and/or flowers that will die in a few days. For us romance is hubby bringing me a cup of coffee in bed and kissing me goodbye before he leaves for work. It's occasionally turning up to collect me from work and going out for a pub meal. It's having a hot water bottle ready for when I get home to soothe my bad back. It's coming with me to my SlimmingWorld meetings now and again so he understands how he can support me. " My point. My feet get cold at night. Every night Ben puts a hot water bottle in the bed so my feet are warmed. Every morning he brings me coffee in bed. Those are the things that matter. | |||

"It's a commercial festival" I'm sure I once read somewhere that it was "Invented" by someone at Hallmark. Anyway, surely everyday you wake up is special, whether you are with someone or not?

"For all the hearts and flowers, the chocolates and Valentines, and the commotion and chatter about romance and plans and naughty delights, just remember 'tis but a day. It is one day out of the whole year dedicated to love birds, love nests, and dungeon delights. But just remember if you don't have another to share it with, you are not alone. And if you do, but they don't celebrate it with you, just remember this one thing: As romantic as this notion is of hearts a flutter and Cupid's arrows coming to find you and bringing people together in lust or love, there is nothing wrong with being unpaired. Do not feel down. You are certainly not alone, and it is nothing to feel sad about. You are still loved, wanted, and cared for, even if it is from inside you, a higher power. It may not be romantic love or lust but there is someone out there who cares, even if it is just me as a friend. Love has many different facets and is expressed in many ways. We should always show the ones we love that we care. It should not be a day on the calendar or the wares in a shop to remind us. So go forth, take good care of yourself, maybe do some random acts of kindness, open your heart and spread some positivity, for every day is Valentine's Day if you allow it. " Beautifully put. | |||
