you don’t have to let the florists and restaurants and hotels ruin Valentine’s day for you. you can make Valentine’s as sweet and as non-rip-off as you want… i actually prefer making a nice intimate dinner for hubby and me at home — maybe i’ll even get him to toss the salad and whisk the dressing… get the kids pizza and let them watch a movie in another room… while hubby and i get cozy over a lobster or other dinner, some oysters, champagne, chocolate, whathaveyou — candlelit of course…. fortunately here in the US the stuff you need for holidays actually go on SALE, so champagne, etc. are discounted around valentine’s. but even if it’s not the same way over there, you could get your wine/champagne weeks in advance so you don’t spend more. and concentrate on the lovin’ instead…

The thing I don’t like about Valentine’s Day is that all the restaurants have set menus…which means I can’t even have my favorite dishes on Valentines…which is a horrid. I guess, what really bugs me is how commercialized V-day has gotten (same with every other holiday here). I guess it’s up to us how to make these days special :)

Like any other holiday it’s a season to celebrate (or not) if we choose to do so. And where would the fun in Anti-Valentine’s Dinners be without a Valentine’s Day? =)

I think that too much commercialism has robbed the romance off Valentine’s Day. I don’t like going to overcrowded restos and eating overpriced dinners, too. Nothing like beer and popcorn and good music and old friends for me! Not very romantic but certainly enjoyable.

I’m gonna throw a bomb into this Valentine anti lovefest. I personally LOVE V-Day.
