Gasp, you don't?! Well, quite frankly, it's not the day I like, it's just the "season"... everything is pink and everyone is lovey dovey (or at least pretending to be)... maybe it's just me though!

See, unless I'm missing a couple of months somewhere, Easter isn't until what March? April? Now THAT is crazy!

yea april.. i actually saw some easter eggs at xmas time.. which didnt make sense

I don't think it's unusually early. I mean they have Christmas decorations out before Thanksgiving, don't they? Personally, I don't understnad the big deal with Valentines Day. I don't like all of that pink and pastel that goes along with Valentines Day.

I agree with the majority, stores put holiday relevant stuff out WAY to early. It does seem to get worse every year. I actually saw Christmas stuff even before Halloween

We do cards, but that's all -- well, apart from the fact that I do a nice dinner -- but we do not exchange gifts. A special day to be deliberate about saying "I love you" is fine, but it doesn't need to be a major spending occasion.

I haven't actually been in the stores since Christmas, so I don't know whether they're into Valentine's Day yet, but it wouldn't surprise me one bit!

Yeah, I was Target this week and they already have the swimming suits set out. Mind you at the time, there was still ice out on the roads from the ice storm we just had.

You know what's funny... My father said to me about 2 days after Christmas... "I need to get a christmas "thank you" card for my boss.." And, I just looked at him and said "It's 2 days after Christmas.. They're already stocked for Valentine's Day... I didnt even have to go to the store to know that.... After working in a supermarket for a year, I realized that they pull down everything the day after a holiday, mark it for clearance and they have the next holiday stuff ready to go... it's sad but it's all about money... That's why I feel like holidays like Christmas, Valentines Day, Easter... they've all lost their meaning due to commercialism...
