NCDR Valentines Day

Do you plan on getting your LO's something or just DH?   And, what do you plan on getting?

I boycott Valentine's Day.  IMO the whole "holiday" is a big commercialized scam.  There is no proof that St. Valentine had anything to do with love/lovers. In fact, there is little evidence of what the guy did to become a martyr at all. I have read that the "holiday" sprang from fictional works by Chaucer and the popular story of St. Valentine performing marriages is little more than a myth which probably originated in the 1700s.  But no one really know for sure.  Either way I boycott on principal.

We don't boycott, but don't really go nuts over it either.  I'm not a huge fan of how commercial it has become.  That being said, I never turn down a good excuse to get a few of my favorite chocolates since I never buy them for myself otherwise!  Idk what I'll do with my kid(s) when the time comes though.

This post just made me remember that my maternal grandmother used to send me a card with a dollar in it every year for Valentine's Day!

We don't really "do" Valentine's Day. DH and I will probably have a nice dinner, and I told him he could get me a case of chocolate stout if he really wants to get me a gft.

DD has a couple of cute outfits she'll wear, but that's it.

Does a baby sister count?
