My husband and I have been married for nearly 18 years. About 16 years ago, we mutually agreed that Valentine's Day was too commercial and we would not celebrate it by succumbing to the "expectations" of the holiday. We skip the pricey cards, flowers, restaurants, and just enjoy a nice dinner at home and find other unexpected ways to show each other appreciations.
This year, he broke the rules. Our teenagers put pressure on him, and since the economy is in so much trouble he bought roses. They are pretty to look at, particularly after a rainy and very muddy weekend.
