Do you believe in Valentine's Day?

Topic.

I used to, but now I don't.

Thoughts?

It’s just another opportunity for commercialisation. 

You can let someone know you love and care for them anytime of the year.

I like  valentines day we live in a busy world well we did pre covid  and working and rushing around  sometimes  people forget 

This year it means more because thousands of lives have been lost  and the message I had off my partner today meant more this year  because  he is still here ❤ x

When I was young if I didn’t have a girlfriend on Valentine’s Day I’d feel extremely lonely and sad, almost as bad as spending Christmas without a girlfriend in my opinion in those days.

now I’m glad I don’t give a flying banana one way or the other! ???? ...or do I ?

The good thing about Valentines Day is that it means Pancake Day is pretty soon...

@OverlyAnxious it does and what fun pancakes are yum, unfortunately though I have an MOT before that, ooer mr grimsdale, and I’m not looking forward to that at all. It cost me nearly £300 last year, ouch!

@woodbine I agree   because it celebrates how much you love a person or care about 

As you say  creates jobs  just that one day involves alot of different companies and shops

Just an excuse to get more money from the public . If I bought my wife flowers and a card for valentines day , she would be wondering what I,d done ???
I suppose if a young person was just going out with someone and wanted to show how much they cared, it might be a good idea to send a card and flowers ..
it feels like a massive con to get money out people ...a bit like " do you love anyone enough to give them a Christmas eve box " ...and of course someone folks fall for it .
