    even if I dont have a somebody special at the time I always buy cards and candy for my family members such as my kids and my mother, sister, niece, father, aunt,etc, just to let them know that I love them and appreciate them and I care not just on valentine's day but everyday

    My husband and I are not so serious about this 'holiday' but it doesn't go by unknown.

    we don't make a big deal but we recognize the day. We usually add wine to dinner and make sure we have "alone" time. We all need to be thankful if we have a soul-mate in our lives. My mom is a widow, my grandfather is alone...there are so many people that are alone yet when we are in a relationship we blow special appreciation holidays off because they are so commercial. I think this year I'm going to do something very special. I let my husband know everyday that I love him but how often do we tell our partners that we never want to be without them? Valentines Day could be the perfect opportunity to look at it just a little bit different. xoxo

    Our anniversary is the week before Valentines Day, so it's sort of a non-eventful day for us. We do exchange cards, but we make it more about the kids than each other. It's a day we celebrate how much we love our children.

    OMG Valentine's Day is such a retail holiday! Its no longer about love, so we dont celebrate buy buying gifts that we'll see/like/use for a week or so.

    I normally send my friends a letter or note and go out with whoever my boyfriend may be, but this year my boyfriend is anti valentines day so him and i don't get to celebrate. But that's what girlfriends are for!
