I don't remember this day exist before it happens and feel like people are acting differently than on a normal day... I don't like how it feels like forced, nearly fake love, one more box to check. I participated to a climate workshop this year and it was great!
My tradition is to make breakfast for my kids that spells out LOVE - usually with a donut or pancakes as the "O" and berries/fruit/bacon/etc. to make the other straight line letters. My eldest kids are in middle school, and they still love it (maybe even more so now).
My husband and I usually do cards and dinner at home, though this year we went out for dinner. We happened to see friends when we were out who secretly paid for our meal before they left. It was such a nice way to be surprised by the love of our friends.
It's a small holiday, and one we don't put a lot of pressure on, but it's nice to have something to celebrate in the dead of winter.

Valentines is a simple day. My partner and I exchange cards. Maybe a flower and remind ourselves how lucky we are
