Do you think Valentines Day is...

When you love someone it doesn't set a time for it when or how to show it. Valentine's day is a tradition that runs through generation just like Christmas and other occassion. It does not mean that only during this time we show how special a person can be. But I reckon Valentine's day adds a spice of a love feeling for everyone it also remind us to be extra sweet and caring to those person that really meant to us. Because sometimes accept it or not with the busy day we have in working and other things we overlooked that we sometimes forgot to show and let somebody feel that they are loved and treasured. Valentine's day for me helps in reminding and giving us the opportunity to show to our dear loveones that we care. And it doesn't mean we need to spend a lot to show them that we care but if we have the budget why not? Anyway its the thought that counts.

Valentines day is necessary, because it is the day that reminds us how great it is to be in love and be love.

I agree with you that valentines day is soooo overrated. Loads of hipe, just for the retail stores in my opinion, as there probably hasn't been any big spending since christmas. When I was in high school it seemed like a game as whose boyfriend was going to get the biggest or best flowers/balloons/teddy bears for their girlfriend. It was rediculous thinking about it now.

Yes, in theory we should be being romantic on top of all our other roles every day of the year, but I think that in practice most of us need these days, i.e. valentines day, birthdays etc to take stock and stop and think about what we maan to each other and be a bit demonstrative. However, I do certainly agree that spending ridiculous amounts of money is going over the top to say the least and I do believe that it is just another example of commercialism at its greatest - although I couldnt bear to be cynical enough not to paricipate.

well well well,,,,valentines day....my GF is in another country...sigh...or i would take her to Santa Monica beach that night. anyway, i really like valentines day alot, 'cause it is really a good chance for me to show how i love my GF. something special will let her know, no matter what happend , there will always be me support her. that will be sooo nice. though, i think that valentines day is not that necessary. we can still find another way to show our love to each other, like anniversary or birthday. i believe that we should show our love everytime, in lots of ways. valentines day is just a great chance, but not the only one

i don't think people should have one day to celebrate their love. Valentines day is just an overated way for people like shop owners to make money. I agree in celebrating your love but not on a set day when evry1 else is.

Well, I don't think it's necessary, but it doesn't have to be overrated either. You can show your significant other that you love them any day of the year and still *also* have a special day particularly for that purpose. You also don't need to buy expensive gifts, although it's not a bad thing if you can afford it. It doesn't have to be any different than celebrating an anniversary if you're married. Just because you celebrate that day doesn't mean you don't show how much you love your spouse the rest of the year.

Me and my hubby agree. We show each other all year how much we love each other. He sends me roses every year at some point. It is uaully a surprise when and they are not red roses they are a light purple color, Which means love at first sight....We didn't know that when we picked that color for our wedding, and he buys me stuff i buy him stuff and we do little things rub backs and feet and all kinds of stuff like that!!!
