Now, this is  probably coming from the viewpoint of "person who doesn't have a significant other" but SHEESH people why do these celebration days have to start a week early?  It's Valentine's DAY. Not Valentine's WEEK.

It's bad enough when Christmas starts in August and Guy Fawkes' goes on for the week before and the week afterwards but everyone's been banging on about Valentines for ever.  stop it!
