Valentine's Day is a nice day for some. But I feel as though it is over-advertised. I mean, Valentine's Day is supposed to be day where you show the people closest to you that you love them and that they are important. I don't understand why there needs to be a day set aside for that. I feel that you should be expressing those feelings to them every day, not just February 14. Also, for those people that are single and not in a significant relationship, I feel as though it is almost a reminder that they don't have a boyfriend/girlfriend. But I am biased on that considering I fall under that category.
As for Valentine's Day being a really good marketing ploy, that may be. I mean, Hallmark probably has more business leading up to and during Valentine's Day than they do at Christmas time. They are like a one-stop Valentine's store. They get chocolate to sell along with the cards. They do very well around Valentine's. Also, nowadays Valentine's Week is being advertised. I remember when it was Valentine's day and then, once it was over, there really wasn't any mention of it again for a while. Now it is practically all you hear about.
Those are my thoughts on Valentine's Day/Week?Whatever they come up with next.
