As a little girl, I remember getting a card and some chocolate candy from my parents every year for Valentine’s Day. In school, we would exchange cards and candy with our friends. And if we were lucky enough to have a “boyfriend” around February 14th, we would exchange little gifts with them. I have always been somewhat “romantic” so it does not surprise me that I have grown into a romantic woman. I love romantic movies, love stories, soft music, love songs, candles, chocolate, etc. I love being in love and I love showing people that I love them.
So unlike many people who criticize Valentine’s Day as a commercialized, man-made “holiday” for greeting card companies to make money, I look at it a little differently. I look at it as a day to celebrate the love we have for family, friends and significant others.
