To everyone who says they don't celebrate Valentine's Day because it's too "commercial",
I challenge you to reclaim it!
Celebrate LOVE instead of grouching about the "obligation" to fill that day with chocolate, flowers, crap bedecked with hearts and splashed with red, restaurants and blah.
Enjoy Valentine's Day because the only thing it NEEDS to symbolize is LOVE.
You've probably seen some of those pictures and articles that are always circulating at this time of year about the disputed origins of this holiday, and who St Valentine really was (or were), but is all that important enough to care about?
What if you just focus on the only thing that needs to be focused on?
Give some extra love to whoever you love today, and maybe even to other people you don't necessarily love, and let that be that!
Christmas has become a commercial holiday too but I don't let that stop me from celebrating the real, original meaning of it. You don't have to either.
Next time you hear a whingey sentence involving 'holiday' and 'commercial', suggest that they do something to change that for themselves and their family/friends circle.
P.S. This was posted yesterday as far as I'm concerned.
