Valentines Day is Not a National holiday.  Banks, governement offices, etc do not close.  \n\nThe holiday is for the purpose of selling things.\n\nCheck these two sites for more info.

I think they have quit thinking at that point .. or never knew what Christmas/Holiday was about. We don't have to spend. We don't have to hurt. I wish you Peace and Hope.

Good point, but I'm not going to let Christmas or Easter be just like any other days.They are Christian holidays and need to be celebrated. Thanksgiving I'm willing to give up. Cooking and cleaning up all day while the men sit and watch football. Women really got the shaft on that holiday!

I really do agree with you, however this year I missed the day after Thanksgiving so I'm going to do it tomorrow. I can't wait until the lights go up. merry Christmas to you and your family.

No, no. I was just thinking about this today actually! I really dislike this holiday. Thanksgiving, I can take. Christmas, I hate Christmas. I hate sappy Christmas music played up until Christmas Day --and then sometimes afterward as well!! It's like Chinese water torture all the way up until Christmas Day. I was in Borders, Old Navy, Barnes and Noble, and Atlanta Bread Co. today, I could not escape the Christmas music!! And it's still November. I hate when crossing the street people nearly mow you over in their SUVs, with a fancy little wreath attached to the grill!! I hate how people sack the stores searching for gifts for people they would otherwise ignore the rest of the year. I especially dislike how people decide that Christmas is the one time to buy people they love meaningful gifts. Love and meaning should infuse everyday of one's life. Not just one day out of the year. If I see a coat or a scarf or a toy that I know a member of my family would love, I buy it then and give it to them. I don't horde it for weeks or months and then shove it in some wrapping and slap it under a tree. :( But that's me!

Holidays are overrated. I prefer to try to enjoy every day and make the most of every day. To treat every day as if it's special because it is and treat myself special also :c)\nWhat's your fave holiday?

no I stayed in bed\nnice and warm HA HA\nI have gotten upset this year with all the commercialism of a holiday, and it has started several weeks ago, they forgot all about Thanksgiving and went right from Halloween to Christmas SELLING, to see how high they can get their bottom line, sell no matter how they do it, they are even extending people credit so they can charge more than before, as long as they just buy, and buy...hey what ever happened to the holiday itself?\nOH well maybe it is just me...\nno I stayed in bed...\nthank you for asking\n\nsmile\ngood luck

I try to come in here everyday to at least get 1 point. Right now, I'm at work and I really should get off of here so that I can actually DO some work, but this site is addicting! Don't get me wrong, I always get my work done in a timely matter, but I admit I do play when I shouldn't be!\n\nAnyway, that's what I'm up to. So, what are you up to today?

We aren't celebrating the killing of Native Americans!!  This is a day that we set aside to give "thanks" based loosely on what happened at the "first" Thanksgiving.  It is not actually about celebrating what happened 400 years ago, but its about remembering to give "thanks" for what you have now.  And as an American Indian, I think its just a tad bit racist to want to give to Native American charities just on Thanksgiving, which By the way, I never knew we had our own socio-economic problems, must be something knew...God, I love some of you white people with your guilt.  I'm just playing, you're hearts in the right place

For the first time I am spending Christmas away from my Wife and kids.  I know how you feel when it comes to  relitives that are a little odd, but it is a different story when you can not be there, it's that "You do not know what you have tell it is gone" thing.  \n\nI well be sitting in Iraq waiting for Feb to come around so my year well be over.  Well there is always Valentines Day... *S*
