Hugs, Kisses, Valentine Wishes Giveaway Hop

2/1/2020

Welcome to the Hugs, Kisses, Valentine Wishes Giveaway Hop sponsored by Mama the Fox!
Valentine's Day has always been a mixed bag for me lol. Back in high school, I was "anti-Valentine's" and wore black with my friends, drew hearts with x's on out hands, etc - you know, high school, no boyfriend type of stuff ;)
Then, me and my husband had a few romantic years and nice dinners...until we had kids! Hard to be too romantic when you have three kids, two of them toddlers hanging around and "needing" you to pay more attention to their food than your own! So V-day is more of a special family dinner night for all of us and really we prefer to catch the early bird specials before the big crowds come in just in case the kids get rowdy! Still enjoy getting a nice box of chocolates from the hubby though...even if I have to share and let the kids have first pick....lol!

I love the heart-shaped boxes filled with chocolate truffles and I hate that I've always had to buy my own

I like that I get some chocolates, but I hate that we feel the need to get our special someone something on this day when we could do that any day!

(Am I the first person to comment with something negative? ...Sorry!)
I dislike... seeing cheesy gifts all over— a dozen roses, heart-shaped everything, boxes of chocolates, etc.
Womp womp. Sorry. 😛

I always loved Valentines Day as my husband used to always buy me a nice present, but we have been married 50 years next year and he has stopped buying me presents probably 20 years ago and I so miss it.

I love the Valentine chocolate boxes, they are so pretty. I dislike how crowded the restaurants are on Valentines Day.

I feel a strong sense of gift-giving resistance surrounding Valentine's Day. The sense of obligation killed any sense of meaning that came with the gift-giving. I would like to extend a warm thanks to Hallmark, the official sponsor of Valentine's Day, for reminding me that without a significant other, how truly worthless my life is

several things. Too commercialized now. Includes valentines for everyone NOT just your sweetheart.
Mostly, to do loving things once a year.

Sara Zielinski

2/1/2020 05:39:15 pm

I don't like valentines day that much, I think its just a hallmark holiday created to extract money out of people.

Andrea Williams

Kim Avery

I like that is a fun day to show my kids and hubby that I love them and surprise them with something special. I'm a gift person, so I like to find a cute stuffed animal and a book for my kids & candy for my hubby. We always have dinner together.

Mood Reader

I like to have lots of wine & chocolate that day! LOL :)

Jennylyn Gross

I hate that my hubby never gets me a gift

Barrie

I hate that my husband thinks it's a Hallmark holiday and a way for flower shops to make money, however, I love that he still gives me flowers each year!

Shannon Holmes

2/1/2020 11:48:36 pm

I don't like being alone on Valentine's Day.

Karen H

2/2/2020 12:24:31 am

I think it has become way too commercialized. When I was a kid, it was just a day when the school kids could have a party and exchange tacky little valentines.

Rochelle Haynes

2/2/2020 12:52:45 am

I like this day because you get gifts from the heart

Amber Terry

Any excuse to celebrate love is a good one if you ask me.

Jen B

2/2/2020 08:44:51 am

I don't really like Valentine's day. I don't think there's any romance in buying flowers / chocolate on that day because you're "supposed to", it means so much more on any other day to do it "just" because you love someone.

Cynthia C

2/2/2020 09:21:37 am

I feel Valentine's Day is a made up convention to get people to guilt-gift. It's fun for the kids but senseless for adults.

rita leonard

2/2/2020 09:45:02 am

While I love getting flowers, especially roses, I feel that it is a tough holiday for anyone who is alone on that day

paige chander

2/2/2020 10:49:21 am

I hate overpriced restaurants and big crowds

Stacey McCrary

2/2/2020 11:06:05 am

Dislike it because everything is over priced and to me if thats the only day you can show me love then dont get me a dang thing.

Mary Gardner

2/2/2020 11:08:26 am

I love all of the chocolate around on Valentine's!

tom griffith jr

2/2/2020 11:13:25 am

The fact like any other holiday you are forced to buy something. At least this is a nice dinner. If you do not do anything you end up in the doghouse!

Jenness M

Kristen Joiner

2/2/2020 03:46:54 pm

I hate the prices of flowers during Valentine's Day, it's like all the companies bring the prices up during that time.

Debra Branigan

2/2/2020 04:12:16 pm

Valentine's Day is not a big deal although in the past my husband used to send flowers and bring chocolates. We find it too commercialized anymore, rather than romantic.

Kayley

2/2/2020 04:36:55 pm

I like that it is an occasion that encourages expressions of love; I dislike the blatant commercialization.

Soozle

Lauren Becker

Always being single can make it feel a bit lonely. I try and focus on other types of love and just having fun though.

Mary Cloud

Amy Green

2/3/2020 02:27:29 pm

Vicki Wurgler

I don't care about Valentine's day because's it's a holiday for couples and I've always been single. The fact that we now have S.A.D. and Galentine's day etc. showcases how moronic the holiday actually is.

stella methvin

I hate they jack up the price of flowers this week. My birthday is the 12th and next week you can get them a 3rd of the price. And we should show our love all year not one day.

I like that Valentine's Day promotes love between all people and of course chocolate.

As a kid, I always enjoyed making cards for my friends. As an adult, even when I was with my ex, we didn't really celebrate. But I always try to make it special for my kiddos.

I love baking all kinds of treats. I really don't like how commercialized it is though.

My husband and I don't celebrate V day but this year we have been skimming by barely so I surprised him and the kids with small little treats. 💜

I'm indifferent about Valentine's Day. I do like to receive chocolates, though.

I look forward to going to my kids' valentine parties at school and celebrating with the kids in my preschool class. And I really look forward to the chocolate covered strawberries my husband makes me every year!

I like celebrating love but I don't like the pressure of having to spend a lot of money to prove ones love.

I hate trying to buy flowers on Valentine's. It seems everyone is buying and you can't buy what you want.

Minding my Valentine's Day with some chocolate. Looks like the weight loss is on next month.
