is that yes, it's kind of false romance.
Why should I do something romantic just because someone has decided I ought to? is what my husband says. And yes, in straightened times the last thing we need to do is to go out and spend money on, well, let's face it, complete tat.
BUT
if we don't do Valentine's day, even if it's just a gesture: a card, a bunch of flowers, when would we do it otherwise? When would be buy something to convey the message I love you (still).
Exactly. We probably wouldn't. Because life gets in the way.
So I don't think I'm alone in saying that I was thrilled to be presented with a bunch of red roses (sparkling no less) and some pink fizzy stuff to mark the day.
You are RIGHT!
