^^^^this. I'm tired of getting on here and reading people saying how much they hate hollidays or hollidays are overrated because they dont have somebody. Whining about they don't have somebody for thanksgiving, they don't have somebody for christmas, they don't have somebody for new years, they don't have anybody for Valentines day.

For pete sake people she was apalled by the commercialization of the stuff not whining about the holiday and that she has no one. I believe she did have a sense of humor regarding her remarks that got lost in translation for a few individuals in here - lighten the hell up around here.

Same here. They cleared out Christmas and replaced it all with Valentine's Day.

They didn't even skip a beat.

LOL. My best friend just posted the same thing today about seeing Easter junk out in the stores already. If the OP was writing about shopping, she would have posted it in the shopping forum. But she used the merchandizing issue to complain that it's worse when she's single. Anybody else gotta dead horse?

It's because it's the only holiday for coupledom - which would make it applicable to the forum. I certainly wouldn't read that much into it.

I hate this "holiday". It only reminds me that I'm single and unhappy the last 2 years.

I guess I could also look at it as a motivational tool to start looking for a date pronto, lol.
lol! Valentine's Day has never bothered me, even when I was not dating anyone. But folks wearing red on Valentine's Day truly annoy me, for some reason.

I used to be a Valentines hater, but I've grown to appreciate it. Love is never a bad thing.

The holidays ARE being started earlier and it turns into a long drawn out process which is why I'm really starting to hate the holiday seasons.

Thank god I'm single because I can just ignore all of it.

You just don't know how to live your life. There are MANY things you can do that married men, or men who are dating can't.
