Valentine's Day?

Here at Casa del Sol, we don't celebrate Valentine's Day. We are both of the "It's nothing but a Hallmark Holiday" crowd, and besides - how meaningful is your proclamation of love if it is made under the "everyone's doing it" influence? So, we ignore Feb. 14.

How about you? Are you a bah-humbug like me? Do you go the whole nine yards, complete with flowers and chocolate and teddy bears with clever phrases on their bellies? Who doesn't love Love, after all. Or are you somewhere in between, just grateful that there is one day where people won't think you a slacker if you take off early to catch some face time with your sigoth?

I will be at the dentist on Valentine's Day. What will YOU be doing? More importantly - are you doing it because you want to, or because you don't want to take up permanent residence in the doghouse?

And finally, if you will allow me to go off on a tangent, what OTHER holidays do you ignore? Personally - I wouldn't notice if St. Patrick's day fell off the face of the calendar. But I've never been a fan of throwing up - green or otherwise.
