anti-social holidays

I was thinking about *ing valentines day, I really don't like valentines day much, but a large part of this could be because I am single and alway have been. But I think Valentines day is the worst holiday in the calendar because it pretty much makes sure to rub single peoples noses in it. You can't move for couples holding hands, windows full of aweful pink s**t etc. Even if your part of a couple and so not being reminded what a sad bastard you are for not having a girlfriend from what I can observe its not that great as there is lots of pressure to show your other half how much you care etc. I can't think of any other holidays like this, christmas has part of the exclusivity in that it is a family holiday, and I can see that it would do the nose rubbing thing a bit if you had no family (hence hi suicide count i guess), but this is some what countered, or should be, by the christmas spirt where its good will to all etc.Yep I think *ing Valentines day is a rubbish holiday, about the only bonus I can see is the posible increase in ones chances of pulling, but that really isn't enough to have to put up with all the pink stuff.Hallowine now there is a good holiday, essentially no drawbacks, or it was until the americans introduced trick or treating, or small scale extorsion as it might more accurately be described.
