Well I have been reading the valentines day entries and although I love my Hubby more than anything, valentines day is such a money spinner, I would rather my hubby give me flowers or a gift out of the blue because he loves me and wants to show it, rather than when the calendar tells him and reminds him too! We have a great and extremely supportive relationship that doesn't need a hallmark day to tell us to remind each other. I know that there are some things that have happened to us that have made us both realise how short life can be and how lucky we are to have each other, but after 13 years of marriage the bottom line ends with us. I love him more today than 18 years ago when we started to go out. If I can deal with his mother ( the witch from hell) and his brothers ( some of which are on par with his mother) and he with my family ( some of which are extremely trying) than we can deal with anything together. So having to buy flowers that are 4 times the price on Feb 14th, is just a waste of money & an insult to our relationship. I know that for some it is a great reminder to appreciate what you have, but for us it is just silly. Well I have had my rant about this holiday, and know that every family and relationship is different and hope that you all find what works for you no matter what day it involves. Most importantly I hope it involves gifts that are lovely and meaningful to your relationship and you are aware of your good fortune to have someone in your life that you love and treasure and loves and treasures you.

I'm with you on that one. Not a big fan of the hallmark occasions. All gilt and no gain.

I do see your point but unfortunatly I only ever get things on Hallmark Occasions so I have to take what I can get.
