Why does Valentine’s Day mean something different to everyone? To single guys, they could care less about Valentine’s Day. Now there are the occasional single guys that are suckers and get sad on Valentine’s Day but it is not often. To single girls, they just want to lock their self in a room, cry, watch dramatic movies, and eat ice-cream. Now there are the occasional single girls that do not care and go about the day with their everyday life. Taken guys, it is a test for the girl to see how much the guy cares or what he will do for her. Taken girls, well the day is all for her. Think about it Valentine’s Day is a girl’s day! It is full of pink and red flowers, teddy bears, chocolates, hearts, etc. All the stuff girls like.
Some people call Valentine’s Day “Happy Singles Awareness Day.” Why do people make such a big deal of a nothing holiday? It is because they are either jealous or sad, and if so then why would they draw attention to it. I personally think people make such a big deal about it because the media, stores, advertisements, etc. You cannot escape it. That is why the holiday is so popular because it is a money making holiday. Think about how expensive flowers get they go from like twenty dollars normally to about forty or fifty dollars. Chocolates go way up. Cards…I think Hallmark invented the Holiday so they could make money between the holidays. Jewelers must love this holiday and trying to help the guys out on what to get that special someone.
So how did Valentine’s Day really start? According to History.com, one legend Valentine was a priest during the third century in Rome. Emperor Claudius II said that men without children or wives made better soldiers so he got rid of marriage for young men. Valentine thought that was terrible and preformed marriages in secret to young lovers. Claudius found out and killed him. Another legend said that while Valentine was in prison he wrote a letter to the jailors daughter to whom he fell in love with. He signed the letter “From your Valentine” before he was killed. That phrase is still used today. I personally like the story about the priest performing secret marriages because that is more romantic then someone signing a letter before he died.
I had an AMAZING Valentine’s Day!! I hope you did too!!
i think valentines day is all about the girls! just like a wedding day is. its just a sweet day to show how much you love the people around you. i can dig that. i do think that people should show how much they care more than 1 day a year though. if you love somebody, gotta let them know & let it show :)
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with Lauren! Valentine's Day is not just one day where we can share our love. It should be everyday if you really love someone. Although I had a great Valentine's Day, I still think that Hallmark did invent the holiday. It is unnecessary to spend all that money and raise up the prices of things such as flowers, that die a week later.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, but valetines day can get pretty expensive especially for the guys.
