My husband seems to think so. And I am still undecided. Thinking about what Valentine's Day came from, it is a story of love. St. Valentine was marrying people even though the king outlawed marriage at that time. Valentine then fell in love with the jailers daughter, and on morning he was killed he gave her a love letter and signed it
With love from your
~ Valentine.
And from that February 14th the world has taken that day and made it all about love. But do we take this day and over do it? I mean over priced boxes of candy, oversized teddy bears, flowers and cards. Is it to much?
For me I when I think of the day, I think of love and a time to be all lovey dovey, and show your love in a different way. I will go out of my way to do a little more than I already do, any other time in the year. But I do the same for his birthday, our anniversary, and Christmas. So for me I just don't see it being overrated. St. Valentine was killed for helping people to marry, that is the ultimate love story! So why do so many people hate the day?
Is it because people are making money of it?
Or is it something more emotional? Tell me what you think in the comments below...
