Valentine's Day
As the middle brother in a family of three boys, Valentine's Day was basically a "no show." It meant virtually nothing to me. I certainly didn't give cards to my brothers, and I don't think I gave a card to my mother--I don't think she expected one.
Now that I live in a family with three women, I do buy cards and enjoy giving them to my daughters and my wife. It's not a big day, other than that. When my daughters were younger I think that we bought them small presents, but we no longer do that. I wonder how you might celebrate or not celebrate Valentine's Day. There is an interesting article in the 2/18/08 issue of Time in the Essay section by Nancy Gibbs with the title, "A Day to Forget."
