Is Valentine's a day for romance or a waste of money? I know how can a day about love be a waste of money? Every year I watch as the line of people grow as they line up to buy flowers. How can $30-$50 be justified on something that will only last for 5 days? If these same people waited until the 15th then they could get those same flowers for half price (I realize that is not the point but you get the picture). Some people insist on jewelry which is beautiful if you are into that sort of thing. Most women only have two ears, one neck, ten fingers and two wrists and most of us already have jewelry. Besides we are the ones taking the heat because we do not wear the piece enough so why bother. Now seriously what is the deal with the chocolate? Most women are trying to loose weight so is that not defeating the purpose. If you are in love and care enough then the day should simply not matter. Why should we be made to feel guilty if we do not have special plans for this date? As much as it can feel like it is a waste it can be cute and slightly romantic. CUTE, seeing my kids coming home from school all excited holding a bag full of paper valentines. CUTE, seeing an 80 year old man buying his wife (whom he has been married to for 50 years) flowers and seeing the smile on his face when he talks about his wife. ROMANTIC, if you are beginning a new relationship, trying to save an old one or finding out you have a secret admirer. Valentine's is also a good excuse to tell someone how you feel for simply no other reason. So watch out because you never know you may have a secret admirer!
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY
