We don't make celebrations with gifts in this house. We celebrate by showing our love to each other by simply loving each other. Yes, the kids get to celebrate Christmas, Easter, Halloween, etc. But as far as me and the hubby go, a smile is the best gift either of us can give to each other. Well that and other things...

thats how my boyfriend feels too, hand made gifts come from the heart and have meaning rather than store bought.
we really do this now for our son, i mean it is only his first year of having christmas, halloween, thats really the only ones we go all out with right now. valentine's day is jsut a commercialized holiday made to make money as any holiday, but we dont feel we need to buy something for our son to say 'we love you thiiissss much!!' or easter..we dont need to buy him a big stuffed bunny and say happy easter, when hes older he'll have the egg hunt, and im sure my mom will get him something because shes very into the holidays lol but us, not so much.
we rather spend the day as a family,be together and do something we enjoy rather than something that society says we're forced in a way to do.
glad to know we're not the only ones who feel this way though
lol

i used to celebrate valentines with my family when i lived at home, my mom would get us a gift, some sort of little stuffed animal holding a heart, or chocolate, or whatever.
but as i got older it seemed kind of pointless..i would have rather spent that time just as a family, with our regular family dinner and enjoyed the company, there didnt have to be a gift on that day, valentine's day..
its one of the most biggest commercialized holidays, and until my son starts going to kindergarten when they exchange valentine's day cards[which by the way is not called "Friendship & caring Day NOT Valentine's Day in schools] that will be the only time i get something for that holiday.
my boyfriend and i dont see the need in having to rack our wallets in order to show our love, we do that everyday so one day out of the year wont make a difference lol
but everyones different, we still do romantic things-dinners, movies, romantic evenings
but my boyfriend refuses to do anything romantic on that one day lol the day after valentines day he goes back to his regular self, but he hates that day lol
i think if he had the power to, he would put an end to every single commercialized holidays
