Singles Awareness Day (or S.A.D.) is a facetious holiday, celebrated for single people (although some prefer to celebrate it for couples). It serves as an alternative to Valentine's Day for people who are single, that is, not involved in a romantic relationship. Some people who observe S.A.D. do so out of spite for Valentine's Day, as a Hallmark holiday, or for other reasons. Do you celebrate Valentine's Day or Singles Awareness Day?

Some people consider Singles Awareness Day as the anti-Valentine's Day and celebrate it on Feb. 14 , but others recognize Feb.15 as the official holiday. Do you think there is too much emphasis on the commercial aspect of Valentine's Day, and not enough on what it really should be about--love and showing your loved ones you care?
Agree--too much emphasis on the commercial aspect
