You always hear those people around Valentine's Day that say, "It's too commercial," or, "You shouldn't take just one day out of the year to love someone. It should be all year long."
To that I say such people fall into one or several of the following:
- Poor
- Heartless
- Cheap
- Single
- Unhappy with their relationship
- Attempting to sound intellectual and failing miserably!
It's true, Valentine's Day can be a wee cheesy. But, isn't that the point? It doesn't have to be a day of rose petals leading into the bedroom, champagne during a bubble bath, drenched in chocolate while putting in to writing how your lover's deep 
hazel eyes remind you of back-lit sea of eternity (whatever that means). If someone wants it to be that, great! Besides, what a great excuse to eat pounds of chocolate.I say it should be all in good fun. I don't hear the same Scrooges talking about St. Patrick's Day being too commercial, when they probably aren't even Irish (which I proudly am). Where are the Scrooges on Labor Day? Enjoying a day off of work, right?
Valentine's Day is simply a day taken out of the year to celebrate eros love. To the Scrooges:
Don't knock it cuz ya ain't got it!
To the ladies...don a sexy little number, even if you aren't spoken for!
"Love is the flower you've got to let grow."
- John Lennon
