Some believe Valentine's Day was invented by the Roman's because Feburary 15th was Lupercalia, the festival of Lupercus The God of fertility. Others believe Geoffrey Chaucer was probably the first to link the Saint's day (Saint Valentine) with the custom of choose "sweethearts". Which ever you beleive I think most of us can beleive that this holiday is a joke glorified by the Hallmark greeting card industry. It's just another important day for lonely, down on their luck, men and women to kill themselves. You should be doing nice things for you significant other all the time not just one day out of the entire year. You can't just screw up you whole relationship then on the 13th go online and order a Vermont teddy bear with overnight shipping--You know that one that kinda looks like you becuase it's wearing an outfit you'd probably wear and the operator on the phone suggests the message to put in the card: "Here's a Teddy Bear that looks like me so you never have to sleep without me by your side."
AWWW
When you have someone this day seems to be important so you save up your money to get your girl or guy a gift and then go out to dinner because you made reservations at the Olive Garden two weeks in advance to beat the rush.
All I'm saying is if your going to embrace the holiday be unique be original don't get her a teddy bear and take her out to dinner--make the dinner, put some thought into it do something a little more special because any idiot can order a teddy bear and pay for dinner that's not romantic.
Happy Valentine's Day
