seriously. what makes it worse is when you’re planning to boycott it altogether and then someone gives you something and you have to rummage through your bag and find something to give them in return. they say “no, don’t worry about it, i don’t want anything,” but they LIE. so i guess all i’m trying to say is that valentines day is about the stupidest holiday ever. we should definitely have two halloweens instead.
Here here! Do we really need a day of love? Shouldn’t this be a sort of everyday kinda thing if you mean it anyway?
lol =D>
happened to me too, but i said, oh sorry it’s not on me right now, you’ll see later. Took that time to write a lame poem on a card, got chocolates and it worked! 
i think we should start a holiday to celebrate hate
Well, Valentine’s Day really has no historically-based meaning at all in today’s world.
You may have heard the legend before:
Basically, the Christians in Rome are experiencing great persecution from a Roman emporer(sp?). St. Valentine is supposedly a Christian who offers to take the place for a close friend, who has been sentenced to death (in the colleseum) by the emperor.
This great act of love is honored by what we call, “Valentine’s Day”.
At least, this is what I’ve been told.
All in all, I think valentine’s day is nothing more than what my dad calls a “Hallmark-Holiday” (a holiday that serves no purpose other than to make greeting-card companies money). 
WHAT! i hate halloween more. for what it’s worth,in my religion,we do not celerate any holidays,but we do attend the memorial of christ’s death.
i likewise see no speacial value in any of our holidays,unless someone can convince me otherwise.
I’d go one better: get rid of Xmas, V-day and Easter, replace with three Halloweens and two St. Patrick’s Days! 
Valentine’s, in the grayest month of the year, Febuary. Throughout the month it just gets grayer and grayer out. Then the grayest day of all, which is usually Valentine’s Day. The day you look at your wrists and say maybe I should slit 'em to see color.
y’know every one,there’s nothing wrong with deleting 1 or your posts if you have accidentally double-posted!
Oh shit I didn’t notice.
Permanent way to stop the Valantine-day blues… Get married.
A bit extreme I know.
Yeah, if I decide shooting myself is too quick.

The best way to avoid holidays you don’t like is to develop short term memory problems and let the people around you see that you have this affliction. So when you forget it was valentines day you will have an acceptable excuse. Works for us, We both forget holidays it makes it so much easier and less stressfull. Hell, When was Valentines day anyway? Bad enough we forgot our aniversary in Jan.
hell yes! though i don’t know about christmas. we could do without president’s day though… and columbus day…
You should it get rid of Christmas. I think it helps the economy out a little each year.
Maybe President’s Day, Valentine’s Day, and Halloween could get ditched, though.
In place of these holidays, I propose we create a new, more meaningfull, more purpose-filleed holiday.
We shall call it “St. Gerbil’s Day”, in honor of all rodents who look like they might be religious. 
we already have st gerbil’s day… st patrick chased the rats and vermin out of ireland and that’s why his day is celebrated…
we need a holiday for st hubbins…

I think I’ll become an ardent follower of every relgion, and aquire multiple nationalities - that way I can claim evry bank holiday, every national holiday and every religious festival going. Hell, I wouldn’t have to work at all… 
c’mon folks…don’t celebrate Valentine’s Day…honestly, why do you need AN EXTRA day to show that person you love how much you love them? you dont.
celebrate S.A.D. or Singles Awareness Day, because it’s the only day of the year where you TRULY are aware that you’re single
