I always enjoy getting presents, but for a man (which is who is usually expected to plunk down a load) to pay 60-100 bucks for flowers that normally would cost halve of that, or to expect extravagant gifts of jewelry or hundreds of dollars toward whatever it is that proves your love for your significant other, is ridiculous.
Just as most holidays, Valentines Day has gotten out of control. If you got put in the dog house because you didnt do enough for your significant other, then I really feel for you. Stryker and I normally celebrate Valentines Day at home.
We have a nice dinner and exchange cards and maybe a small gift. I got Stryker a book hes been wanting, and he got me an Itunes gift certificate and chocolates. No diamonds, no 2 dozen flowers, no expensive night on the town where we would pay too much for food we waited way to long to eat and booze that is marked up beyond belief. Just us, having a relaxing evening and enjoying each others company. To me, thats love and thats what should be celebrated. When you can enjoy each others company without the big show and frills and payments.
So, to all of yall, I hope you had a good one. If you didnt, I hope you get out of the dog house soon:)
