Valentines Day. Love it or not, it takes place every February 14th causing quite a bit of stress in finding the right romantic Valentines day gift to give your special someone.
I have had friends who chose to ignore Valentines Day. "She'll understand," they say. "It is just a holiday made up by the greeting card companies to sell some product." That may be true but how does that reasoning work when you explain that to your significant other? Here is how the discussion might go:
You: "Hunny, let's skip Valentines Day this year. It's just some made up holiday anyway. I don't need someone to tell me when I should show you how much I love you."
Her: "Oh, okay. I guess so. Do you want to do anything on Valentines Day?"
You: "Let's just treat it like any other day."
Her: "Okay -- if that's what you want."
Is it okay? While most of her friends will go out and celebrate and receive thoughtful and romantic gifts, she will have an ordinary day. Sure, you love her and you do your best to show her that every day. But how would you feel if, say, your birthday came along and your special someone chose to ignore it?
Valentines Day. Love it - or leave it - it's still coming. Being romantic isn't about the amount of money you spend. It's about the thought. The time that you put in to planning something or making a purchase that is not something you bought at Target on February 14th just before closing and wrapped in newspaper.
