We don't celebrate this 100% commercial holiday.
No, Valentine's day is nearly 0% commercial.
Its a day about picking a woman and having sex with her for a year. Noting more. There are little to no lawn ornaments, little to no house decorations, no costumes to buy, no useless trees that die in a couple weeks, etc. There really is very little commercial about it. It is and always has been about sex. I say, why stop tradition?
I'm getting my GF some flowers and we are going to a Sweetheart dance on the 17th. Of course, we would be going to the dance anyways as we do all Fridays. And I'll get the flowers on the 17th as well so the cost will be minimal, maybe $10 from Sam's club for a large vase full of flowers.
