If you are indeed serious about this, I find it a strange analogy,
unless possibly you have had a bad experience and are bitter about love
in general. EVERY holiday is a "greeting card day", but I just don't go
for that line of thinking, as first off you can celebrate the day
without buying anyone a card. It's a perfect time to show someone you
care about them, and express the feeling any way you choose. It's always
been a special day for me, and I always make it a special day for my
husband of 53 years.

I bet you don't believe in Santa Clause, or the Easter Bunny either?!
