We gave my daughter a rather amusing card, telling her to "beware of Cupid... no actually, beware of any naked person in a diaper with a bow and arrow."
Valentine's day wasn't always just an excuse to hock chocolates and candies. It used to be a day for red vestments in church. But nobody does that anymore, since it isn't actually certain there even was a St. Valentine. :-)
It is definitely a hard day for some people. It is a day some are reminded that they have no one. And, perhaps even harder, it is a day that some are reminded that they have lost someone. Maybe the best way to mark the day is to make sure that such people are not left out. I'm about to make that phone call right now.

I think that it's a good idea for friends who have no significant others to send each other e-cards (and commiserate). Then there are those bonding anti-Valentine's Day parties... My college had a big one today. I think it actually had more people than we had people celebrating the day for real!
