Thank you for this. I hate the commercialism, even when in a couple, and spent both yesterday and today with friends.

Michelle – my absolute FAVORITE Valentine’s post. The overcommercialism in the US bugs me to no end to the point where I almost protest by not buying a darned thing (& makes you want to humbug all the holidays, really.) Our society almost mocks singles, and it’s not right. This girl LOVES being single! Sure, I’m a champion for love and celebrate REAL love in all it’s forms – every day & not when tacky commercials and store displays tell me to. But I CELEBRATE my single-ness, revel in it – as it’s a time to reconnect with my self. Thanks for this!

Love it Valerie! Buon San Faustino!

I wish I had seen this on Friday, Michelle. It’s a holiday in the US today (Monday, 16 feb), as you probably remember, & I’m just catching up today on some blog reading. I didn’t know about San Faustino…I plan to investigate. I buy my own chocolates, I take care of myself (& others) & I am tired. You just made me feel a whole lot better. xoxo, Susan

Well Susan, I say you take next weekend to celebrate San Faustino…or any day that’s convenient for you

We turn into Jehovah’s Witnessesses for 24 hours on V-day — that is, we don’t celebrate. We do the same thing we do every Christmas and Birthday as well — we look at each other and say, “I bought you this farm, do you need any more proof that I think you are awesome? You want a card, too?” Then we laugh and go for a walk or cook something.

I’m so with you on EVERYTHING in this post. Celebrating love should be enough. And that can be self-love, family-love, friend-love. We’re doing something similar – C, his gf, D and I are making dinner together and then watching Baron Von Munchausen – how’s that for romantic?

[...] Now, I’m not a big fan of Valentine’s Day. The idea of “love” being forcefed down my throat like a foie gras goose really triggers a gag reflex in me. In fact, to counter all the sappy, chocolate-filled twee, I’m going out to listen to some combat rock tomorrow night. I’m also a big supporter of San Faustino, the patron saint of singletons. You can read all about him at Bleeding Espresso. [...]
