Valentines day

Valentines Day is the day to be spent with your significant other. When I was younger it was about making your crush a little paper heart and putting it secretly on their desk. As we get older and have our girlfriends/boyfriends, its about buying them something nice and taking them out to eat. This holiday reminds you to make time to treat the one you love. Corporately it has been turned into a day for the markets. Jewelry stores open their doors wide to the lover trying to impress. In our culture love is shown through materials. I prefer Valentines Day when I was younger because it was innocently cute. The whole arts and craft of making the paper heart with glittery finishing touches. Love should be shown trough creative gifts not easily bought materials.
