Valentines Day

It is once again February 14th and love is in the air. The subtle signs are everywhere. A little more red, a lot more flowers and the glow on the girls face a few girls have glow

There are more theories about Valentines day than any other day of the year. The romantics explain how it is an ancient Christian and Roman holiday honoring St. valentine himself. But all the party poopers go on and on (and on) about how it was the gift card company who made it up in hope of profit (it worked)

The truth is- history aside, the holiday is corny and at times laughable but super exciting and enjoyable. Millions of people are sending flowers and candy to their loved ones. Not only wives and girlfriends receive gifts but mothers and family and friend. Children express their affection for peers thru the “perfect” boxed valentines that they themselves picked out. Valentine’s day is adorable and one can’t help but smile.

And yet so many people make the day a living hell. On a day with such themed enthusiasm there are so many angry people. Boyfriends complaining how expensive it is girlfriends complaining about how there man didn’t get them enough, so many people complaining about being single and others just plain complaining.

Valentine’s day must be the biggest pity party of the year. SO to everyone who likes to rain on all the happy valentine’s parade- don’t do it.

If your un happily single that doesn’t give you the right to ruin it for everyone else. And news flash being single isn’t the worst thing in the world. Things could be a whole lot worse. So try focusing on the people who you do love and the people who love you. There are people who don’t have anyone to wish them a happy day. Send flowers to your mother, call your grandma send a corny card to your brother and but some candy for your friends.

Seize the day. Give into the corn and make the day as fun and love filled as you possibly can.
