You and your sweetie just came from a romantic dinner. You had a great time. You feel like this person knows you so well…he only one that gets you. You can’t imagine how you survived living without this person….you’re heart. You never want this night to end so you and your baby head over to your place for...desert. As you look into each others’ eyes, you feel the love you both have for each other growing more and more every second.
But guess what.
It's not Valentine's Day.
It's just a Tuesday. Some random Tuesday at that.
This is the way I think it should be everyday. I’m tired of people asking me about advice on what they should get for their honey on Valentine’s Day. It’s stupid because all the gifts they give should be given throughout the whole year. I’m not saying gifts should be given everyday, but the thought should be year round. And I'm also not saying people don't do this kinda stuff on a regular basis, but people put too much emphasis and too much money into a made up holiday.
I wonder who was the one who decided everybody should give candy and flowers to people.
Well, I'm not sure about a lot of things, but I am sure that a lot of people are gonna be "knockin ze boots" tonight! LOL
....I'm not a "player hater" either. I got my man.

Not sure about the candy and flowers, but V-Day has been around since the time of the Romans, in some form or another...
Another made up Holiday. Jesus wasn't born during Christmas. I don't know where the rabbits and the eggs come from Easter (rabbits don't lay eggs). The annual celebration of the land taking of Native Americans called thanksgiving (Native Americans don't celebrate Thanksgiving). Then all other holidays are just excuses to party.
Valentine was a real person (or perhaps several people combined into one persona) named St. Valentine for valor and refusing to denounce Christ before some emperor or other.
The Catholic feast day was never associated with romantic love or getting it on until the Middle Ages.
You can blame Hallmark for the red and pink theme colors and the ridiculous amount of money spent on shiny crap. Shiny crap that plays music. When did dopey musical animals begin to equal romance?

I'm Native, and I celebrate Thanksgiving.
Anyways, I agree with you, writer. I married a just for no reason gift giver. I love it. My friends are jealous, then puzzled on Valentine's day when we usually don't exchange gifts. It's kinda empowering to know that you can not get anything and still feel loved.
