Valentine’s Day is around the corner, and how could we miss it with all the jewelry commercials on TV? Don’t forget the tiny teddy bears and single roses invading our grocery stores’ shelves? The pressure to “buy” and “do” something special can be overwhelming. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not against love or romantic gestures of love…on the contrary, I’m pro-love. But I have to say, “Bah humbug to the commmercialization of love!”
Websters defines Valentine’s day as this: a holiday for people who don’t love one another the other 364 days of the year; arbitrarily chosen date of 14 February selected by department stores to boost sales after slump of Christmas holidays.
What, you don’t believe me?
