Default Valentine's Day

Is it a real holiday, or a way to get people to spend more money?

It is only a holiday because the great prophecy states:

"If Valentine's day comes to past and not one celebrates it's glory, the great Saint Valentine will appear in his colossal suit of mechanized armour and layeth waste to all."
Prophet of Valentine, "Book of bullcrap" (123 A.D.)


Don't just celebrate Valentine's day to spread love. Celebrate it out of fear.

It's a holiday for every merchant out there.

Since I'm not one, I can't be bothered.. Personally, I think that forced presents are crap. If you have to buy something to someone, of what worth is it? And it's not even that, it's a trade. You give me, I give you, done, we can move on and our Valentine is fulfilled. When I want to buy something, I buy it. Don't care if it's any holiday or not.

Money.
If my boyfriend dares to buy me something just because it is valentine, he'll be getting it back smashed in some spot where it really hurts.
If he wants to give me presents any other day of the year though, it is fine by me :P

It is a conspiracy devised by Hallmark to seperate people from their money.

Originally, a holiday of a saint, but it has become very comercial (damn my spelling) and has lost a fair amount of meaning. If it weren't for mass Christian movements and political correctness, I imagine Christmas might have gone the same way.

I celebrate the meaning, not for the purpose of 'It's Valentine's Day! Must buy something!' but for the fact that it's an excuse to be romantic with my boyfriend and give around copius amounts of chocolate. Which reminds me that I should go over to Brighton, bloody Choccy-wokky-doo-dah closing here.

It gives me a reason to get a day off from work, because they don't know I don't have a girlfriend, and am instead going to play video games ALL DAY LONG BUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

I for one consider it a holiday, even if only 'cause it gives me the opportunity to spoil my girl a 'lil.
