Boycott St. Valentine's Day

We have never really celebrated St. Valentine's Day. We both agree (correct me if I'm wrong dear) that it is a commercialized holiday that doesn't really make much sense. Sure, my lady friend enjoys flowers and chocolate and nice cards but do I really need to be told when to give her such things? No! I love my wife because she's my wife not because some card company (the Man) told me to love her.

Please join with me in boycotting St. Valentine's Day. I am not asking you to stand in front of your local greeting card store with picket signs and buckets of red paint (I don't know what that means). I am asking you to love your wife, husband or significant other every day of the week, month and year. Don't let the Man tell you when to love! We've got to stand up to the Man and let him know who's boss!

Posted below are just a few of the reasons I love my wife. I keep a running list of reasons in a file on my computer. I add to the list when I think of reasons. The list is ever-growing and this is just a sample. Oddly enough the Man didn't set a date for me to write these reasons. I wrote them on my own because I love my wife.

Watch out St. Valentine, if that really is your name - you're going down!
