Why I don't like Valentine's Day
- Waste of Money: Surely I am not the only one that noticed a significant mark up in the cost of flowers during Valentines?
- Flowers Die and Candy Gets Eaten: I don't think I really need to say much else about this reason..., but just in case - it goes back to waste of money.
- Unnecessary Pressure: I've heard it on the radio all week, 'what are you going to get your special valentine', 'get your valentine a piece of fine jewelry from ...', 'make dinner reservations now for a special valentines...'. The reality is that a relationship is based on giving EVERY DAY OF THE YEAR {period}, not one day that was created because some guy was beheaded many, many, many years ago.
Bottom line: be happy with the one you love every-single-day, love is a gift that can't be bought. So, as I tell my husband (married almost 15 years and known each other for 20 years), "don't buy me anything, I'm happy; and I generally buy want I want anyway. So, I'm good. :)"
Pin it for Later!
Yes I know I'm probably irking a lot of people off and fueling guys reasoning for not liking Valentine's Day. But ah well, can't make everyone happy - right!? :)
