Valentine's Day 2011 final thoughts

Pretty soon, it'll all be over.

People who celebrate Valentine's Day will enjoy their romantic dinners. People who oppose the holiday will breathe a sigh of relief.

As I type this blog post, I've had a great Valentine's Day. If I get out of the office in time to buy some chocolate-covered strawberries, my day will be complete.

I agree with this writer's assertion: Couples who hate Valentine's Day are often more annoying than single people who hate Valentine's Day.

An excerpt from the Slate article:

I'm talking about the couples who say they are "above" Valentine's Day. You know what I'm talking about: those who sniff, "We think our love should be celebrated every day" or "I don't need Hallmark to remind me that I love my wife." They make a big deal out of not making a big deal out of Valentine's Day.

Throughout Valentine's Day, I saw tons of Facebook updates with lines like, "My husband and I hate Valentine's Day! We celebrate our love 365 days a year!"

Is that really true? I mean, how many people pause to celebrate their most important relationships EVERY DAY?

If you honestly celebrate your love every day...go ahead and complain. But otherwise, take a cue from the rest of us and succumb to silly traditions.
