I too, dislike Valentines day- just an excuse for corporations etc.to get money out of people.
I am also starting to dislike St.Patrick's day because it seems to be going down the same road- i saw St.Patricks day cards in the shops this year!!!! it used to just be an excuse to get really drunk; which it still is, but it feels different somehow

I'm not particularly fond of Groundhog Day.
I hate Easter very much. There is no real big present payoff so I don't get compsenated for spending time with annoying people and kids who really don't like me. Also, my Easter's are always cursed for suckiness. :/
Valentines' day is going over the top. This year, there were cards on sale to give to your cat and dog. A relationship like that is not going to work.
there was a picture here
Exactly. You know, I came to China hoping they wouldn't associate me with that holiday.
AND THAT'S ALL THEY ASSOCIATE ME WITH.
Eg, stupid nicknames like: Supersuperkisskiss and be my valentine.
i h8 valentines day...easter is starting to get on my nerves now as well

I think a lot of the opinions stated on this thread are... I don't know how to put it. They're sad. Why do you have to dislike holidays because of how businesses try to make money off of them? Businesses try to make money. It's what they do. You don't have to give them your money. You, Old Manus, don't have to buy cards for a cat or dog. You have the choice what you do to celebrate the day, or what you do to protest the day.
I choose to enjoy Valentines Day. When I was single I celebrated by cooking myself a nice dinner and indulging in a bit of selfishness. Now that I'm not single my boyfriend and I have developed of a tradition of me cooking him some fancy dinner that I've never cooked before and eating alone together. We don't rush out to buy cards because "Valentines Day is an excuse for companies to sell more cards" or anything like that. We enjoy the holiday for what it is, and it's a great day.
Also, Easter is heavily commercialized. It's also fun. I like bonding with my sister and brother by dying eggs together, and I like going to church in the park in the morning. I don't buy Easter cards, or big Easter bunny crap, or plastic grass.
I just don't get how people can hate holidays just because businesses *gasp* try to make money off of people who choose to buy such things.
Yes. Is that a surprise?Originally Posted by Iri Valentine
Phhht. Is your last name Valentine? Do you experience the HORROR?!
