Some holidays are on a date (xmas = dec 25), some are on a specific day of the week (thxsgiving = last Thur in Nov) . I hereby motion to make Valentine's Day the Sunday after Superbowl Sunday every year.
Every Sunday all fall and winter, most wives, girlfriends and lovers lose their husbands, boyfriends and men to America's real pasttime, the NFL. While there are plenty of female fans out there, please accept my generalizations as generally true. The Super Bowl is a dream for these ladies, as it signifies that they get their guys back on Sundays, at least for a few weeks (NCAA tourney, baseball, NBA/NHL playoffs, Golfing season!). How fitting is it to follow up the Superbowl with Valentine's Day? It is a huge thank you for the freedom, or a sorry for the inattention.
Sunday is also the right day for the holiday. It's easier to get reservations because half of the people go out Saturday night. Brunch is in play as a more affordable option. Getting last minute gifts and cards is easier as you have Saturday. It just works.

This site has $25 vouchers for local restaurants, you pay $10.
The real value comes once you've bought one. You will start to receive emails offering 50% - 80% off of these vouchers, allowing you to purchase $25 for $2, legitamately. Log on to see if anywhere you are already eating is on there. It is found money.
Cooking tip (i found on the net)
Ever have a block of sugar? Put it into a ziplock with a piece of bread. Two hours later you will again have crumbly sugar.
Happy Valentine's Day to Everyone.
