Is whining and complaining about how much you hate valentines day...


Yes it is a 'consumer festival' as I've seen it phrased.... These days, Christmas and Easter are also about consumerism, even though, they had religious backgrounds, whereas Valentines day was strictly corporate founded, They are full of commercialism.. This can be seen in the gifts chocolates, etc, a large part of Christmas seems to be about the spending however It seems people have no problems enjoying that day.


And I'm well aware that the target demographic of valentines day is the couples and promoting the happiness of couples, and you may have been single for (insert how many years here) but does this mean that you hate other days where you may not be the target demographic, such as Fathers Day or Mothers Day? Besides if you think its pointless due to corporate issues, it should be a day in which your happy you kept your money rather then spent it on doing something extra special on this day.


I'm also well aware that you may feel its pointless to show your emotion and appreciation for a person on a single day, rather then all the time... While that may be true, essentially thats what Mothers or Fathers day is about, Some people do not make that effort to let the one they care about know their feelings everyday, this however is a day etched in peoples minds, it serves as a reminder to show your feelings on this day.


The way I look at it, today, Valentines day may be for the lovers .... But every other day is for me, and having said that I would like to congratulate all couples who choose either to or choose not to celebrate Valentines day and wish you a happy valentines day, and all the single studs out there much luck in engaging future romances. It may not be a perfect reason for a special day, but that doesn't mean I gotta bring it down for all the people who want to enjoy it.
