Do You Celebrate Valentine's Day?

FancifulBeat · February 10

If so, what do you typically do?

I celebrate by spending time with family and staying indoors lol.

For me and my wife, this is a purely commercial day. We prefer not to treat ourselves to anything on Valentine's Day and keep our money that will be used to buy us a trip.

Only if there’s chocolate involved. How about you?

Hi @FancifulBeat,

Every 10 teddy bears and boxes of chocolate not bought = a trip of some sort. I can dig it 😎

Huh, didn't know that but I suppose it makes sense.

If it's important to the other person and they put all the effort in, then sure, I'll celebrate. (Which is to say, I hardly ever have)

Maybe celebrate is the wrong word lol. 'Acknowledge in any capacity' might be more accurate. But I'm somehow not surprised by the mixed feedback.

I get what you mean—'acknowledge' might capture the nuance better here. Mixed feedback often reflects the diversity of perspectives on any given topic. It's interesting to see how different people interpret and react to the same event or idea.
