I don't know what I'll do this year. Spend valentine with my gf or spend valentine with the girl whom my family wants me to marry. * sigh *

Aww Kakero, that doesn't sound like a fun choice at all. Hope you have a good weekend, despite that.

I don't do Valentine's day - it's just an excuse for card manufacturers and retailers to make some money. Most people in the UK would consider it very weird to send a valentine's card to family members, I think it's an extremely odd practice
![]() There was a bloke I used to work with and became friends with who would send me a hand made card every year - unfortunately he drowned in a tragic accident about 18 months ago, so I will probably remember that on valentine's day and feel sad. That History Channel article gave a very sanitised account of the Lupercalia you know - don't believe everything you see on TV/the internet!!! ![]()

LOL! I know, Epona! I just grabbed it for the quick overview.
That's so sad about losing your friend...I can see where the holiday would have bad associations for you from that. ![]() So is it not very widely celebrated there? I mean you didn't grow up making valentine cards in grade school or getting candy hearts and stuff?

Some people do, but a lot don't bother with it. We don't tend to go all out for these things in the same way you do over there though (stiff upper lip and all that
![]() I never recall it being an issue at school - some people sent cards, others didn't. But not to family members, that is a definite no-no here - that's a different kind of love - valentines day here is definitely not about loving your mum.

LOL! Over here I think they hyped it for couples at first, but there's a buck to be made in getting people to buy more cards/candy etc so your kids give them to their whole class in school and stuff like that.

Well, I'm going to make my sweetie her favorite dishes. My home-made ceaser salad, and sautied shrimp and scallops with a butter, garlic, basil sauce. I'm also going to give her a massage.
