I reffer to it as ValinBarff Day. Just an over the top, over commercialized, money grabbing holiday. Flowers that die, chocolates that are no good for you, and over priced cards, with someone else's words in them.
I value gestures over gifts. I'd take a peice of paper with a sweet note written on it, hidden some where I'm sure to find it, over anything purchased in a store, and dinner cooked at home. Just alone time, in the moment.
I spent it this year, hanging out with family.
I find the time period around Christmas to be busier than Valentines Day, and I think thats mostly becuase It hits a bigger nerve with some people. It can be a very emotional, hard time of year, for many reasons, and beyond not having a significant other ect.
