I'm a Christmas hater. Well, not a hater. I just would not care one whit if we never celebrated Christmas again. No...I'm not that bad. We could sit and eat. If it were more like Thanksgiving, that would be nicer. But it's OK with me what everyone else does with their Christmas. This Valentine's Day my husband and daughter came into the room and said "Happy Valentine's Day!" in unison. Then...I suddenly realized I had an intense craving for chocolate truffles two days later and wanted some truffles. But I didn't know where to get them so I called my husband said "buy me a chocolate mousse cake" I was going to split it with my daughter but he bought this enormous cake and we ate it and all got sick. On February 15th. And that was Valentine's Day. The end. Aw, I’m sorry. I’m a Christmas hater. Well, not a hater. I just would not care one whit if we never celebrated Christmas again.

I didn't become a hater, but it did shrink to the point of becoming just another Hallmark Holiday. What I've observed lately is that the people who go at it whole hog do pretty much the same thing that my wife and I do on our anniversary. And it's good to have a day where the primary focus is the simple fact that we're *us*. On February 14, we exchange mushy cards, but that's about it. As for candy, we're perfectly happy with a bar of Lindt 70%, with the occasional Godiva dark chocolate heart thrown in, or maybe some Dan's. The only thing you should do with a box of Russell Stover is put wicks through them and use them for candles. I once had a very long drought, where Valentine’s Day was moot.

Privately, with the people you *need* to share it with, and in a manner appropriately related to the severity. this ties into every point you’ve made, diddy – valentine’s day should be handled in a manner similar to the other, less famous V.D.

I mean, it's kind of nice to have a day devoted to expressing love, but like anything else designed for that purpose, it's as much about selling shit as anything else, and you just have to be selective about what you want to invite in. I'm not bitter about it, and people who are kind of drive me nuts, too, as do people who gripe constantly about Christmas being so commercial. Like every day of every year, it's just another day to live the way you want to live, and to invite into your life what you want to have in it. .-= Sara´s last blog ..<a href="http://grammardog.livejournal.com/687252.html" rel="nofollow"></a> =-.
