Unexpected Gifts

Not recognizing Valentine's Day comes naturally for me. Here's my reason, for those couples who routinely celebrate Valentine's Day, there is nothing original about it. The woman knows she is going to get a gift, and that gift usually depends on the size of the man's wallet. Card - Chocolates - Flowers - Jewelry. (In that order....End of story.) So the woman either tries to act surprised by her new gift year after year, which is being fake, which I hate, or she just says a polite thank you, and small display of affection towards the guy. So on the guys end, this is a classic example of a no-win situation. If he doesn't get her a gift, she will wonder why, or if he does, he's just breaking even. If he goes above the classic four gifts (mentioned earlier) she will probable expect it next year. Do you see where I am going with this. My sentiment rests on the wise words spoken by someone who probably hated V-Day as much as me... "A key to a woman's heart is an unexpected gift, at an unexpected time." Wow...go figure another positive point for ORIGINALITY!
