A Capricorn woman's thoughts on Valentine's Day
Capigirl - that's very sweet and I agree it's a commercial holiday for the card companies n florists and chocolates.
I'm not a cappi but will send my mum flowers delivered so she knows that her children are thinkn of her.
My dad is a capi, but will never ever send flowers or get presents on any holidays, birthdays etc.
It's funny on their wedding anniversary he sang her happy birthday n we all thought it was funny even my Virgo mum.
I'm a cancer am romantic at heart and generous with my affection and heart.
But I'm not a flower receiving person - I just dont like them.. I don't mind sending them n making others feel happy /special
It just dosent do it for me.
My capi guy thou on the other hand has said don't buy gifts etc just like yourself
If there is something he wants he likes to get it himself.
We don't celebrate anniversaries or v.day either
I did ask him about it once - his reply was simple "but we've never celebrated them before"
Oh well simple minds just something to lay out there.

V-Day is just date night. Perhaps a nicer restaurant than usual. Maybe a little gift and card, not much. But, my guy is working out of town that day and won't be home. 😢
It is a commercial holiday, but it's a fun holiday if you have someone to share it with. 🙂

Truecap- it is fun. I agree. But, call it a pet-peeve: last night I was on the phone with the Scorp, and he is talking about all the things he needs to do, and he says, "And next week is Valentine's Day and I have to get you something before I go on my business trip but I have no idea what to get you..."
Listen, buddy, don't stress yourself out because someone else decided there should be a holiday and you feel like you HAVE to get me a gift. Just forget it.
Bah humbug.
We already talked about going to dinner, so I know we will do something. It's the thought that counts.
I went into the above tirade about holidays, how it is arbitrary, blah, blah, blah. So I figured I would post it here and maybe shed some light on it.
Am I the only one who feels this way?

I feel this same way about Christmas, by the way. I feel that list-making/ commercialism has ruined Christmas. I refuse to buy presents for adults anymore, and I tell them not to get me anything.
As for the kids, I spoil them rotten! (or as rotten as I can afford) 🙂

I resent the idea of doing special things on a set day. If you care about me, show me today cause I could be dead tomorrow.
I couldn't agree with you more!
I hear ya, but, I'll go along with the flow, though.
Thing is, it's hard to find a man gift for V-day. Women are easy - flowers, chocolate, jewelry...but men? —
And right after Christmas and his birthday. Out of ideas.
We're going to celebrate when he gets home, by the way. He's the one that brought it up. I was just going to let it ride - for the above reasons.

Don't mind me. I just have more reasons than most to have a total hate on for the day. It's also my first wedding anniversary, you see.
Jaded? Me!?! Nooooo! 😄

Ummmm. I'd feel the same! lol!
V-Day is a load of shit.
Sorry, I hate commercialism telling me it's time to "show my love".

Take a word of advice and don't do it. Like CapTenn's point above, fucking commercialism trying to get you to buy shit and fill you with the false illusion that you don't actually love someone if you don't get them absurd amounts of chocolate and flowers. And besides c'mon, it's a bad holiday dedicated to love Shit any day can be made towards that and I hate the feelz.

What a lovely exercise in commercialism, in-between Christmas and Easter. You would have thought the companies would have been satisfied with the end of year sales but no.
Thinly veiled corporate greed, with the masses are still being suckered into the whole charade...click to expand

I love to celebrate holidays. I think of them as a time to get together with my family, to mark the time, to bring a bit of something special into my every day life. As a general rule, I look forward to holidays.
Valentine's Day is a nice concept. A time to tell people you love them. But really, I think it is a bogus holiday. It is not real. It was made up by the card companies to sell cards.
Personally, I tell the people who are closest to me that I love them on a regular basis.
That being said, I also will take the time to make and send a card on Valentine's Day.
My son will get a little special something- this year it will be a Valentine mailbox with a card, a $ 2 bill, and probably a little stuffed animal.
I'll probably send a little something to each of my nieces and nephews as well.
Mr. Scorp will probably get a Valentine mailbox with a card and whatever I can think of to go in it.
We are going out to dinner.
Usually I bake a cake.
That's about it. It will be simple.
As for me, it would be nice to receive a gift, but it doesn't have to be big, and it is not necessary.
Which leads me to my PROBLEM with holidays.
I do/would not like to receive a gift on some arbitrary holiday because someone feels OBLIGATED to buy me something.
Please, save your money.
Wait until another day, when you see something that makes you think of me, and just buy it. For no reason at all, just because you think it will make me smile. It would mean a whole lot more to me.
