Perfect7 Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 Do you celebrate Valentine's Day, or do you view it as a "Hallmark" holiday that is just commercial? We usually celebrate "Half-Price Chocolate Day" on the 15th, instead! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silva Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 Our local pub does a special meal on Valentine's Day and we are booked to go as it's always a meal to remember, but we don't buy cards or other expensive gifts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueenB Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 I always celebrate it to a point, but it's never been anything over the top for me. I always get the person I'm with a card or some chocolates. Overall, the day is treated just as any other day would be, except I try a little bit harder I guess you could say. I like to do my best to treat each day as a special day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacelover8126 Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 We go out to dinner and I get flowers and chocolates. It's pretty low-key for us. Tomorrow night we are getting sushi and I can't wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caroll Smithson Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 I love the half-priced chocolate. It's great to pick it up and tuck it away for those days when we have a craving for it. My husband and I both love chocolate and eat it more than we should. We also went out for dinner over the weekend at a quiet upscale restaurant in a neighboring town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryMB Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 I used to wait until the day after to stock up on candy for the kids too. By the end of the week our local store will have what's left marked at 75% off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val-the-nomad Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 Here in South Korea Valentine's Day is celebrated a little differently. The main idea is that women buy gifts for men, then on March 14th the roles are reversed on 'White Day'. Singletons who missed out on both days are left to eat noodles in black sauce on, you've guessed it, April 14th ('Black Day')! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
