Valentine's Day Chocolate Giveaway
I keep an open mind and I've never met a piece of chocolate I didn't like: white, milk, dark, or marbled, all are lovely. Actually, that's not quite the truth, because my "eccentric" mother-in-law once offered me a truffle that must have been ten years old. I initially thought it was some elegant gourmet item she'd found because it was an unusual caramel color. Actually, it was rancid dark chocolate, and it tasted indescribably bad. It took me over an hour to recover. (I recently helped her clean out her fridge and found dated leftovers from 1993 and plenty more "historic" chocolate.) My husband still owes me.

How Do You Feel About Valentine's Day?
That's the spirit! We never celebrated Valentine's Day because it seemed like gloating -- we had so many single friends who found the day depressing, as we once had ourselves. So we made it a point to never celebrate. Then, one year, we decided to go out for a quick, casual dinner right after work, and during dessert, my then-boyfriend pulled a diamond ring out of his pocket and proposed. He couldn't have picked a better day to shock and surprise me. (In fact, he tells me I was so stunned I never actually said "Yes.") That was 11 years ago, and although we still don't do anything special on Valentine's Day, we keep surprising each other all the time.

My husband and I just use it as an excuse to buy each other bottles of really lovely bourbon & rye. It's unofficially become Bourbontine's Day. Otherwise - screw it.
How Do You Feel About Valentine's Day?
I'm glad I live in a country where they just don't bother... I suppose that about sums it up (although the shops are trying to push Valentine's Day themed goods, nobody seems particularly interested).
Which brings me to my suggestion: if you were considering taking a holiday in another country at some point in the upcoming year anyway, why not take it it so that it falls around Valentine's day, and in a country that doesn't celebrate it? Then you can have yourselves your very own private and personalised Valentine's Day. True, the weather can be drab, now but prices are great (low season), darkness and rain can be romantic, and if you're interested in food, it's possible to spend a lot of time indoors when it's too beastly outside to walk about much.
How Do You Feel About Valentine's Day?
The only time we enjoyed Valentine's Day was when our daughter was young, she gave everyone in her class a card and a small package of the Valentine candies that have a cute saying. She enjoyed doing it and looked forward to signing the cards and putting together the candies tied with a ribbon. Valentine's Day is for the very young.
How Do You Feel About Valentine's Day?
Once my husband and I went to a restaurant for Valentine's day and soon discovered that they ONLY had a double-regular-price fixed-price dinner. It was more than we had to spend at the moment, so we went and got beer and Pizza instead. A much better choice.
How Do You Feel About Valentine's Day?
My partner and I have been together 29 years. At first we'd do the whole Valentine's Day thing but as the years went by we realized that we gave to each other (in many ways) throughout the year that making a big deal over a made-up holiday was just silly. Dinner at home, no gifts, no flowers, no candy. Just each other. (I know it sounds maudlin but there you have it!)
