The Best Valentines gfit ever
Michelle and I have agreed to give each other a dose or reality this Valentines. We are opting out. We always feel like its some lame contest where you give a limp wristed card and gift which are totally lacking in much in the way of merit.
As of yesterday we have decided we don't celebrate it anymore. Our gift to each other is the gift of peace and freedom from a ridiculous, contrived hallmark holiday that does nothing but support the overrated and magical thinking view of Romance in our society.
We both hedged and hemmed and hawed and when we finally came out and admitted we hated the holiday to each other it was enormously liberating. I suggest you and your SO sit down and try this too. Hopefully one of you isn't drinking the "consumer driven relationship" koolaid and you too can let go and join us in a calendar with one less meaningless hoop.
