I asked a co-worker if she and her partner had anything special planned for Valentine's Day, she replied "H*LL NO, we don't beleive in buying each other presents just because its Valentine's Day. We can do that any day of the year" Which I guess is partly true. I agree that this event has become rediculously commercial, but since when does showing a loved one you care cost money at all? I know romance can happen any day of the year but in this hectic world how often do we really? Its getting harder just to find the time to have a conversation.  Anything done with loving intent can be a present.
