Valentine's Day is one of those unique holidays that elicits different emotions from different people...it brings out the die-hard romantics AND the die hard cynics...  Which camp do you fall in?  Or are you somewhere in between?
Do you think Valentine's Day is a commercially-concocted contrived excuse to spend money on overpriced flowers, frivolous heart-shaped boxes of candy, teddy bears, and expensive dinners?  Do you feel like you're being forced to go through these rituals to prove you care about someone?  You've heard of the "Anti-Valentine's Day" parties?  The annual Bitter Ball thrown by a local radio station...and sold out every year....
Or...are you one of those people who looks forward to this day for love and romance all year long. Is it a time to go the extra mile to show that someone special just how much you care? Are you happy to embrace the full range of romantic gestures...from the cards to the sentimental gifts, etc?.  Does the lovely mood of the day just make you feel all warm and fuzzy?
OR...are you kinda in the middle....you begrudgingly get on board simply to make your significant other happy...while secretly thinking the whole holiday is not all it's cracked up to be?
Curious to see what people really think....
