While I was at my dad’s house, his girlfriend Catherine and I went out shopping at a Pat Catan’s with my little sister Colleen, and Catherine’s ten year old daughter Maddy. As soon as we entered the store, we were bombarded by all of the Christmas clearance items. However in the far corner, you could see that the takeover of the stuff for the next holiday was occurring. I personally had no idea that there was another holiday until Easter, but Colleen so nicely pointed out, “Look Emma, Valentine’s Day stuff are already out!”. My first thought was “Oh poo I might have to celebrate that holiday this year”. I don’t mind holidays, and for right now I have a boyfriend but its Valentine’s Day. I mean, come on, it’s so cliché and definitely one of the most awkward holidays out there.
Most girls LOVE Valentine’s Day, while I on the other hand usually forget about it. I mean it’s a Hallmark Cards created holiday created for people to spend more money on the people that they like and love, when in reality ever y moment should just be cherished, every day. I’m not saying that every day girls and guys should give each other chocolates and what not, but isn’t it better to celebrate the fact that you have every day together, and those memories that you have with that person, then to celebrate one specific day. Plus, guys, at least all of the guys that I know, stress over what to get their girlfriends. If it’s stressful, then how is it fun commemoration of your relationship? To me, it’s just another day, and should not be obsessed over.
