Valentine’s Day: Cute and fun or Commercialized crap?
Love is in the air across all forms of media today. Articles about puppy love in the paper, romantic movies on TV, love song countdowns on the radio, and … commercials for Hallmark and 1-800-FLOWERS everywhere. Right.
So here’s the Mediacrity Bottom Line on Valentine’s Day:
–It’s not just about romantic love. Do you have friends? Family? Pets? A favorite sweater? Then you have someone to share your love with. Take them out to dinner, to the park, to the dry cleaner.
–Don’t expect gifts, but appreciate the hell out of them if you do get them. If that special person doesn’t bring you roses or candy, that’s no reason for the silent treatment. But if they do, a big kiss would be appropriate. Or a firm handshake. Depends on the situation.
–We should show love and appreciation for each other all year ’round. Valentine’s Day is not the only day to say “I love you.” However, if you do all of that every other day of the year, then there’s nothing wrong with ramping it up a bit today.
So go out there and give your sister, your spouse, your puppy, or your Jimmy Choos a big old hug!
