Valentines day is filled with love and joy, right?! I think this is a holiday that puts too much pressure on couples. The pressure to get your boyfriend, girlfriend, husband, wife, the perfect gift that would show them how much you love them, how much you care for them, and even how much your willing to spend. It’s the Christmas for February. When people go to target or CVS they see Valentine advertisements everywhere! Dont get me wrong I like all that mushy girly stuff, of course! I just don’t like the pressure that society puts on us to get our significant other the perfect gift they want.
I also think Valentines day is to show the people around you like family or friends that you love them. Everyone loves to get a little box of chocolate or a nice card. People should see it really is the though that counts and not how much they spend especially in this economy I don’t recommend you splurge just for one day. I recently talked to my friend and i asked her what she was going to get her boyfriend for valentine’s day and his birthday because there only a couple days off from each other, and she said quote: “please don’t talk to me about valentine’s day im still trying to recover from Christmas.” I think a lot of people feel that way thats why it is important to remember its the thought that counts and we should spend this Holiday with the people we love and care for, because nothing is more precious them quality time.
