I despise holidays where gifts are expected. It would mean so much more to get a gift without being told to expect one by the jewelery store ad or greeting card company.
National Pancake Day is the only exception.

I could get behind a National Pancake Day!
That's exactly why I'm puzzled, and a bit miffed, that DH said he got me something. We had specifically said nothing would come in the door for this Hallmark manufactured "holiday."
I'm hoping that at this point next week, I'll report that my "unromantic" something was a visit from a plumber to fix that leaky pipe in the basement.2007 Seven ID8 - Bontrager InForm

I personally LOVE gifts whether they come on organized holidays, unorganized holidays, or even pancake day. Commercial, non commercial. Religious, non religious. It is safe to say that I will always receive a present with a huge freaking smile on my face.
And you know all that blah, blah, blah, blah about the joy of Christmas is the giving? Well, that is all good, but as we all know, there is, dare I say it??????????? MORE JOY IN RECEIVING THAN GIVING
There - I have opened myself up for slaughter - I can take it, just give it to me with a gift, please!!!

Well, I did the unthinkable. I told my hubby to skip the flowers this year.
Whatever roses are being delivered in this area don't last but a day 
so instead of watching the flowers die a quick death, I decided to forego that and wait and see what hubby has up his sleeve. So far it's nothing.

That's funny, because for V-day, we went to the Vet College pancake breakfast fundraiser. That's all. No flowers, cards, etc.

But no flowers or cards for the un-anniversary either. He's taking me shopping at Victoria's Secret!
