ROMANTIC TIPS: “The problem with Valentine’s Day (Part 1)”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The problem with Valentine’s Day is not that it’s a “Hallmark Holiday” (a holiday concocted by the florists, jewelers and greeting card makers just to make a buck). No, the problem with Valentine’s Day is that it’s not a holiday at all. I mean, do you get the day off work??
We have “real” holidays that celebrate gluttony (Thanksgiving), consumerism (Christmas), and hot dogs and explosives (Independence Day)…
…And we also have a variety of other important holidays, including the celebration of weather-predicting rodents (Groundhog Day), tall vegetable matter (Arbor Day), and, of course, pair-bonding and reciprocal expressions of affection characterized by an excess of dopamine secretions in the brain (Valentine’s Day). These three “holidays” are, as everyone knows, have been consigned to Second Rate status: They do get listed on the calendar, but they don’t get recognized in any official capacity.
Sorry, you’ll have to celebrate the most important thing in the world—love—during off-hours.
