Perhaps the most annoying Hallmark holiday. Every gift is consumed or thrown away within a week, and the women in our lives have already forgotten how much we love them again as soon as the last chocolate is swallowed. That said, I, too, participate, and with a house full of women, I had better.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I think we'd all have a lot more money to spend on things of real value if it weren't for all the birthdays, holidays, anniversaries, and other bull$hit, and all of us would have a lot less $hit lying around that we don't need or even want. Of course, most retailers wouldn't survive without holidays, so I guess they do serve an important purpose....
