Do you really need to spend money on Valentine's day?

I am not getting flowers, chocolate or even a card for this Valentine's day!

I am not giving anything either!!

I've never really been a fan. The whole holiday seems designed to do nothing more than force you to buy unnecessary things for your partner. Wal-mart, Target, the flower and jewelery shops all love this holiday because people spend so much money proving to someone that they love you. Luckily, my husband sees it the same way. We generally don't go out of the way to do anything special on Valentines Day.

I have 3 great boys and a husband whom I love more than anything. So on this day, I want them all to know I love them, and I don't need a special day to remember that.
