Chocolate is overrated. why are there no holidays where the gifting of King Crab is a tradition? I'd love to hit up the after holiday specials for that when all the king crab goes on sale 50-90% off...

Personally give me a rock instead

Rocks would be nice, especially those really hard faceted ones. LOL! I got a nice bouquet of balloons. I love getting balloons. It's the kid in me.

Nobody gives me nothing. (Boo hoo, sob, etc) A double-nothing holiday for me, as a Catholic, because I won't be able to make it to mass after work, AND I packed chicken for lunch, which was stupid because I had boiled eggs in the fridge and forgot it was Ash Wednesday. Duh!

Duh! Do what I do and buy yourself something...
I have a pretty pink dozen roses on my desk from me, myself and I
Actually I do this a lot--I love me
In truth Valentines Day is a joke-
Its just another day that had a much cooler IMO origin than what it is today.

No chocolate sales over here, Chinese New Year is tonight and is celebrated til Monday, and a few days later on the 22nd. is “Renri” (人日), the common man's birthday and everyone grows one year older!
After that the prices finally drop on virtually everything. But no use for me really, all the chocolate is the incredibly sweet stuff. Nothing in the offering with at least 85% or higher cocoa contend. At least a visit to the flower-market will be worthwhile by then (Saw a single rose going for aprox 50$ yesterday).

Chocolate is goooood stuff. Don’t think it is overrated. However, crab IS underrated.
I think I’d rather feast on a handful of crab, followed by one delicious chocolate. 🙂

Chocolate is not overrated, especially when there's a strawberry dipped in it.

I hate to be a bah-humbug but my wife and I agree to NOT participate in the commercialized fake holiday called Valentines day. We say our "love you's" every day and are working together toward some goals that will not benefit if either one of us goes running out and spending a bunch of money on a fake holiday. I am planning on surprising her in a few weeks - once V-day is in the rear view mirror - by finally wrapping one of her favorite cabochons that we put aside over a year ago.

I didn't see you bah-humbugging steak and BJ day over in Tela's thread though. Don't worry, I don't expect a response to a gutter comment like this, from someone in your high position.

I think I’d rather feast on a handful of crab, followed by one delicious chocolate. 🙂 Unlike crab a good high quality chocolate contains phenylethylamine, which stimulates a dopamine rush giving you the same feeling as when in love. Thus the tradition of giving chocolate to the one you love. Good quality chocolate also increases anandamide levels, which binds to cannabinoid receptors mimicking the effects of marijuana.
