Do you celebrate Valentine’s Day or are you like me and think it’s just a made up holiday to promote consumerism?

On a non-cynical note, here is a quote I saw on FB (The Subversive Lena) this morning:

“…To Valentine’s Day, not because it’s a Hallmark holiday, but because love can still be a force for good in a world that often feels confusing dark.”

I guess I'm somewhere in the middle, I think the holiday is too commercialized and too overdone. And people make way too much out of it. But, it's also a nice tradition. So I can't really bring myself to be a Valentine's Day Scrooge.

We don't do anything for it. It's a silly made up holiday. Although I do like buying a bunch of half-price candy the day after!

This isn’t like conflict of interest or anything right?
