It's Valentine's Day. Whether you're the type of person who throws themselves completely into the day or dismisses it as a businesses' money making scheme, or maybe somewhere in between, you got to admit that it makes some sort of impact.
Personally, I am reluctant to buy things for Valentine's Day. I dislike giving away my money to buy presents on a day that has been exploited by shops for their own (money-making) purposes, and Valentine's Day isn't a real holiday, is it?
Well whether it is a 'real' holiday or not and worthy of acknowledgment is up for debate, but it seems to get that acknowledgment anyway. Today I got given an article to read in French class about the origins of the day! (In French of course.)
So I say take this day as an opportunity to make your loved ones days. Write messages to them, ask them to be your Valentine or just wish them a Happy Valentine's Day. The last one especially takes no effort, and is sure to brighten up someone's day.
