Deffenition: Valentine's Day falls on February 14, and is the traditional day on which lovers in certain cultures let each other know about their love, commonly by sending Valentine's cards, which are often anonymous. The history of Valentine's day can be traced back to an obscure Catholic Church feast day, said to be in honor of Saint Valentine. The day's associations with romantic love arrived after the High Middle Ages, during which the concept of romantic love was formulated.
I know that I am posting this AFTER ” The Day of Love” but so was my intention. See Valentines Day has become this ridiculous Hallmark holiday that in most cases really means very little. If you are in stores on the said day you will see men rushing through trying to find something anything for the girl in their life just to make her happy because she would be very upset not to get anything on this particular day. Ok so if you get the picture that is REALLY DUMB in my opinion. Valentines Day should be celebrated with much thought put into it. If you are going to get a gift what would you rather get… A gift that is simple but you can tell that the one giving it really put some thought into it or a gift that you can tell is just a store ready-made pick-me-up gift? That is the point I am trying to make. Valentines Day does not have to be a stupid rush around holiday but it rather can be something very special, thought through, and personal.

i agree. thought/effort should be put into whatever you give someone to show them love, or it doesn't have much value. though maybe it would be considered effort to go through tons of cards to find the just right one. hehe ;)
