Valentines day has never been a favorite of mine. Starting well in advance of the day we are importuned by merchants and loved ones to unlimber the billfold and purchase jewelry, flowers, cards and candy, all at inflated prices, to present to the females of our choice.
The Valentine concept is unbelievably sexist. It is blatant discrimination against
men. Why should the ladies not get goodies for the men. We are loving and considerate and deserve some sort of recognition. I hasten to mention here that I hate jewelry and consider flowers to be a waste of money. However, a nice box of chocolate bon bons would be most welcome.
Thanking you in advance for your generous contributions. I feel sure that you will all agree with me and start a new valentine tradition.

I think any occasion that begs you show affection to your loved ones can't be all bad, but I get your point. Guys need to feel the love, too.
Happy Valentines Day Dad! Flowers on their way...
