The Day of Love, Friendship, and Sweets
When you typically think of Valentine's Day you imagine yummy chocolates, a bouquet of fresh roses, an enormous over-priced stuffed teddy bear, and maybe even something sparkly. Valentine's Day has always been catered to couples and love and mushy feelings. The girl is supposed to dress up (red lipstick is a must) and the guy is charged with the "responsibility" to get his girlfriend the perfect gifts, which are to be "presented" at school so that the entire student body can "oooo" and "ahhhh" over how much he actually cares for and "loves" his girlfriend. And for those that don't have someone to fawn over them are generally left in the shadows to be forgotten by the entire "love industry". Rare are the gifts exchanged between friends to show affection and care. The entire holiday has been grossly exploited and blown completely out of proportion. You should love and admire...
