It’s funny to me how it’s become so cool to be jaded about Valentine’s Day. It’s a “commercial holiday”, an excuse to sell Hallmark cards and roses and all that crap. Anybody who’s truly romantic won’t buy into it, because true romance doesn’t happen on only one day of the year.
That’s so true. I absolutely believe that romance should be an ongoing thing, all year long. There’s no reason why you can’t take bring your loved one flowers or take them out for dinner on a random Tuesday in September… just cause!
Having said that, I’m also pretty tired of the naysayers of these “commercial holidays”. Honestly, all holidays are commercial these days… from Christmas to Easter to Canada Day, they’re all excuses to sell more stuff.
But we live in a commercial society, so I don’t mind that. Hell, our economy is dependent upon us buying into the commercialism of our seasons.
So having said all that, I’d like to wish you all a very happy, romantic, overly commercialized, yet still sentimental and loving Valentine’s Day!
