I've always enjoyed it. In high school, it's a chance to borrow mom's Lincoln, take your sweetie somewhere special, and maybe leave a big mess in the back seat of the Lincoln. In college, I worked at a florist for about a year, and it was one of our busiest delivery days, bested only by Mother's Day. And, as a floral delivery guy, you meet quite a few pretty girls on Valentine's Day. (not so with Mother's Day) Later in life, it gets more expensive, especially if you're seeing more than one woman mid-February. Still, it's fun. Even later in life, you get to help pick out the cheesy little packs of cards with Spider Man or The Hulk (or, I suppose, Kittens if you have a little girl) and give your kid a bag of candy and cards to share with the class, and he comes home with lots of tooth-rotting candy to share with you and your old lady. It's really one of the special days of the year.
