Although the last day of 2016 is not here yet, you no doubt saw Valentine's Day candy, cookies, cards and more in stores near you.
It is funny how quickly the "holidays" are shoved on us. If you celebrate New Year's Eve, you can go directly into Valentine's Day without the blink of an eye.
The photo here was taken by me before a previous Valentine's Day.
Most we know are not interested in another holiday at the moment.

So very true @41CombedaleRoad retailers take the meaning out of all celebrations, it's no wonder so many younger folks have no clue about the true meaning behind any of them.

Nor mine but it is a money spinner and that is all that counts in the commercial world.

I don't consider Valentine's Day to be a holiday - It's not like you have off from work for it LOL.

That is true, but the industry makes a ton of money with this.

Yes, it really is. It is our parents anniversary, so we will celebrate that and skip the icky chocolate things.

@PatZAnthony That's very true. Halloween was unheard of once too.
