Dave and I really don't celebrate it--which is funny because it's the anniversary of our first date and we had a ball together. If we DO get each other something, it's not lovey-dovey. I got Dave a nerf football (no card or chocolates) this year because that's something we enjoy doing together, but really I made Valentines Day the EXCUSE to get it. :) Lame, I know, but you get the point.Karahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07688723478660388622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3248407554073159321.post-28627225082396700272010-02-13T04:16:41.359-08:002010-02-13T04:16:41.359-08:00Feeling a little bit guilty that I am so anti-Vale...Feeling a little bit guilty that I am so anti-Valentine's when someone like Emily enjoys it. :)Kellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09889745046138804619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3248407554073159321.post-38263524697773695182010-02-12T22:44:15.882-08:002010-02-12T22:44:15.882-08:00BJ and I were talking about Valentines the other d...BJ and I were talking about Valentines the other day. He's not a huge fan because his strength is not in planning and gift giving. He rather dislikes that kind of stuff, actually. Thus, he doesn't like Valentine's Day. So we were talking about the meaning behind it. Is it a day to prove our love? Shouldn't we be doing that every day? So we decided that Valentine's day shouldn't be a day to <i>prove</i> our love by giving each other gifts, etc. Rather, we should be <i>celebrating</i> love. Just like we should be Christian every day, but we can still have holidays to celebrate Christ. I guess the question then is, what is the difference between celebrating love and proving your love? (And I agree that it is too commercialized. But then again, isn't every holiday?)Tiannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10225416679542274879noreply@blogger.com
