Valentine's Day

I don't know why poeple are so against this holiday.  I get that it is a "Hallmark" holiday but can't people move beyond that concept, along with the fact it has to be all about couples?

Really, I think if you want to completely ignore the holiday I am okay with that (hop to it) but do people really have to rain on people's parades?

I'm sorry if people think it's dumb but I think it's unnecessary to create such drama over how this holiday sucks.

Please, it doesn't have to be about relationships...it can be about just realizing that there are people in this world that love and care about you.  I'm sure people think I'm biased because I am currently in a relationship but I think even if I didn't have a boyfriend I would be fine with the holiday.

Remember when Valentine's Day was fun when we were kids?  I always liked picking out the cards for my class and being able to write notes to my friends and receiving candy! 

Why can't we remember it as a holiday to have fun and be silly?  When did we have to focus it on the people who get flowers and the ones who don't?  Or the people who have that "special someone" or those who don't?

It was cool to see at work people still leaving Valentine's Day cards out with candy attached to them because it's just a nice, simple, gesture.  You never know how much that small thing could make someone's day :)

Sure, I could see this holiday being more fun with a significant other but there is no reason to really call it a sucky holiday...but I guess that is my opinion.
