Well we are not huge into going out either. We have in the past gone to a movie and dinner along with everyone else it seems like. Maybe I will try some of the other ideas that have been posted!

My family does something together on Valentines day. It is always fun to be with my family and be relaxed.

Is it weird that my Valentine tradition is to hang out with all my single friends? Because, invariably, I am single on Valentine's Day, which is kind of a relief since there's so much pressure on the day to be magical and romantic.

So my Valentine's tradition is to go out to eat with single friends after which ALL of us get dessert ;)

Wendy, I'm like you - I don't like crowds! So for our Valentines the past few years I have decided to make a "gourmet" meal at home. I usually try to find something that I wouldn't normally make, and I do an appetizer, main course and a dessert. I also like to chocolate dip strawberries & raspberries too. I set out the "good" dishes and we have a fancy dinner with the kids. I guess it's not super romantic, but it has been fun to do something special for my family. Who knows, maybe this year the dessert will be cupcakes!

No regular tradition.... but we try to do something fun every year, little notes, homemade gifts etc.

My husband recently left me and my twin boys...so there won't be any "romance" going on, but we are going to continue on with our tradition of making chocolate fondue, dipping giant strawberries in it and getting chocolate all over our faces. We have already begun planning it. Valentines is our favorite holiday...next to Halloween. Side note...My boys were born 2 months premature....while they were in the NICU I snuck in some chocolate cupcakes with chocolate frosting, on their 1 month birthday, and asked the nurse if they could have a tiny bit of chocolate on their lips...she said it was okay, so that is the first real food they ever had!! To this day they love chocolate. So just because the jerkstore left us, we are going to still have a great Valentines Day...me and my boys!!

My tradition is sooooo romantic (not)! I usually buy my husband a new set of underwear. Just the regular kind he wears every day. But then to be funny I package them in a Victoria's Secret box or bag that I have hung onto. "Here honey, I got you something new to wear to bed..."

2010-02-01T19:49:19.735-08:00

Valentine's Day is my MOST favorite holiday, then again I haven't found a holiday I didn't like!
I agree, any holiday that has chocolate as a main ingredient is a holiday worth having!
One thing I like to do for Valentine's Day is send Valentine's cards to some of my girlfriends. For some reason, VALentine's Day is of especial importance to me. LOL
I usually try some type of new chocolatey type of dessert for the family. I really like the volcano-type desserts because of the surprise. I also like the turtle cheesecakes & of course, these are met with very few familial complaints!
As a couple, Larry & I have very few if any Valentine traditions. He doesn't buy me flowers because the prices usually skyrocket & I'd rather have something pretty planted in my yard. We'll know he's in sync with me if he ever plants lilacs!
Well, now I have to start thinking of something wonderful for this year!
