It's coming up Saturday. So do you celebrate it at all? Do you send valentines? If you are married or have a "sweetie," do you exchange cards and/or gifts? Do you usually do anything special?
I usually do send out some valentines to my mother, mother-in-law and various and assorted friends & family. My husband and I do usually exchange cards/gifts. (Probably not gifts this year because money is tight and we are going out with friends to kind of a "pricey" place.) Our church is also having a Valentine's banquet Friday night at a local restaurant and we are planning to attend that. A lot of times we don't go out (now that we're old!) because we don't want to fight the "Valentine's evening crowd!" This year some friends invited us, though, and we do have reservations.
Every day is Valentines Day at my house We do exchange cards and sometimes presents. We'll probably go to I-Hop to eat because I have a coupon I look forward to the day after when the candy is half price!!

Now you've done it, kaykay!
I just realized it's Wednesday, and I haven't sent out any cards. I used to be sooooo good.

I'm a BIG fan of holidays--ANY holiday. It's always fun to celebrate. But I just about rebelled a couple of years ago when I was in the Big City and saw Valentine's Day baskets (much like Easter baskets). My own personal philosophy is that we should be expressing our love to those closest to us on a daily basis, so I've never gone in for showy Valentine's Day celebrations. However . . . cards, candy, flowers, a nice dinner, etc. may all be appropriate, in moderation. At our home, we always have a special dinner with a heart-shaped cheesecake. If I remember, I'll make heart-shaped pancakes or cinnamon rolls for breakfast.

The church I attended as a teen/young adult always had a Sweetheart Banquet for Valentine's Day. Special memories!
