    Now I am probably more cynical than average and i dont go in for rampant commercialism. Nor do i follow trends, fashion labels or any other kind of label.

    But i think there is nothing so empty and cold as a breakfast table without a simple valentines card.

    It costs very little but is worth so much.

    a simple expression of caring and appreciation..nothing fancy or expensive.

    I think there is nothing so shallow as a show of love when told to do so by others.

    My thoughts exactly! I'm single now but even if I was with a partner, I would prefer us both to show love and affection every day and not just on this one day! :o

    I was joking with the spinster comment... :o I just liked the swarthy cat picture... :o

    After we got married, I think V's Day became less of a 'thing' for us. We still go out for dinner, etc, but it's not the big cataclysmic event with a month of planning that it was for our first one together.

    I've never done V day when i was young and dating or when i was married , definately won't do it now divorced.
    I try and avoid any 'celebration' day as much as possible.

    I never really bothered with V day until I started comping, now it's just a blooming annoyance. as are all the other special days.
