Here we are — embarking upon the Hallmark-created holiday of love, happiness, rampant spending, and unfulfilled expectations. Flowers, chocolate, cards, dinner, dancing, movies, sex, romance, gifts. And then … nothing … for another 12 months. Instead, let’s have Valentine’s Day about 14 times a year. Instead of buying things, let’s spend quality time with our loved ones. Create something together. Talk about the future. Swap dreams and ambitions. Listen. Go for a long walk. Make snow angels. Strap on some ice skates. Hold hands. Give a pedicure. Get a babysitter. Or include your children in V-day. Do something that jives with your passions. Don’t allow Hallmark to define love. It’s too complex to fit on a greeting card.
