If you hate the commercialization of a holiday that literally had nothing to do with romance, rather “originated as a liturgical feast to celebrate the decapitation of a third-century Christian martyr, or perhaps two," by the Roman Emperor Claudius Gothicus, then please, by all means, STOP commercializing/bastardizing it. I am still a devout Atheist, but that does not preclude my belief that people should not be decapitated, for theirs. I have long abhorred this particular Hallmark Holiday, single or attached, and have repeatedly requested of my Royal Consorts to kindly, NOT engage.
