Pete, will you be mine?My husband and I have a boycott on Valentine's Day. I know that's sort of bah-humbug of us, but let me list our reasons:
- We have a sincere aversion to all things pink. (Sorry Sarah!)
- Once you get past the undeniable sweetness of Valentine's Day in elementary school, what is the day about? Consumerism, and high expectations. How many of us have gotten into fights/been really disappointed with our sweeties on this day?
- How many of us have sat at home in our single days and stuffed our faces and cried?
- Patrick's and my anniversary is February 18th. Why celebrate hokey, contrived Valentine's Day, when our own anniversary is only four days away? Stay tuned for a sweet, lovey post on Wednesday.
And for all you who do celebrate Valentine's, have a great one! I hope there is chocolate involved.

i will happily join your valentines day boycott!! its not our thing either. i hate that everyone asks what you got/gave for it. we dont do anything for it, which i am more than happy with until the millionth person asks me what i recieved! well i recieved a big hug and kiss, an evening with my babe, what more could i ask for!!! it realy is another excuse for people to go shopping. i hope you had a lovely non comercial version of valentines day:)and more importantly happy anniversary for the 18th xo
Thanks Karen! Just spending time with my guy is enough for me.
Happy Anniversary!
I agree with Valentine's Day. Why should we have a holiday that just makes me feel back I don't have a current boyfriend..that I like.
Aaaannnnyyyway...
I clicked the link but didn't see the film you wrote of. Is it gone?
