I am not single, but couples canoodling on v-day somehow still makes me sick! I have devoted a treasury to non-valentines day desires. http://www.etsy.com/treasury_list.php?room_id=111405 For those who would rather cause mischief on Vday than sniff flowers and eat candy.

I am happily married, have lovely husband and we both love to hate Valentine's day. It just feels weird when colleague from work ask me ' so what are your plans for Valentines?' and I say 'oh, we don't celebrate, there are no plans and no presents'. Then silence in the office, everyone starts coughing and scratching and trying to change subject. Why is it so important?! Weird...

Ha. I don't know what came over me - the last decade I'd been creating and gifting "bitter valentines" - macabre and gross and otherwise good fun of the crabbiest flavor. And this year? I've stocked the shop with the prettiest old heart necklaces. I think maybe Etsy's gone and made me soft. That said, I'll be sure to do something characteristically curmudgeonly on the appropriate date. Viva Valentine Grouches!

I'm with DearDrunkgirl, celebrate Year of the Tiger on the 14th. We haven't celebrated Valentine's day for years and years, heck we don't even celebrate an anniversary. I guess our only valentine ritual is buying cheap candy on the 15th, but we do that after all the major candy holidays :) We do little things for each other "just because" throughout the year, things which probably aren't romantic to anyone else - like buying a pizza cutting wheel.
