No thanks for me. No expectations, but being intentional about just showing my husband how much I love him. Blogged about this this morning, too.

Well, if you like flowers and restaurants, they are usually cheaper and less crowded other times during the year.

Well, my birthday is the 2nd, my husband's is the 17th, and then we have Valentine's Day? No hot dates here. It's just too much hassle for us. We normally do one outing to sum up everything.

Very fair question and yes we celebrate mothers and fathers day but no we dont spend money on it. The kids make a popsicle frame with their picture in school and that is the extent of our gifts. We honor our grandparents on Mothers and Fathers day and they too get something the kids make. Our family has a running joke that when ever we are in the mall or a card store we pick up a card and show the other person and say “this is your card” and read it then put it back. My mom and dad even do it to each other.

So what you're telling me Cindy, is if I should get married, it would be a good idea not to get married around the Valentine's Day period if possible?

I know. Just another sneaky tip….Easter Monday is a great bargain day for chocolate too!

Lori, what about Father's Day and Mother's Day? Do you skip those too? Just wondering since those are merch holidays as well.
