Valentine's Day

I don’t understand why everyone is always hating on Valentine’s Day. A lot of people are always saying that it’s just a Hallmark holiday or that it’s overrated. Honestly, Valentine’s Day is one of my favorite holidays. I don’t understand why so many people complain about it. I think the people that complain are the people who don’t receive gifts or give any gifts on this wonderful holiday.

Elementary School was the best time for this holiday. We made a valentine’s box that the other students would put their valentine in for you. I always went all out on my box. If there was a valentine box contest, I would always win. I took time and thought into each and every valentine for everyone in my class. It was always so exciting to see what everyone got each other and to see all the different types of valentine’s cards. I love everything about Valentine’s Day: the colors, the flowers, and the fact that everything is heart-shaped.

I know that you are suppose to show your significant other that you love them every day, but Valentine’s day is there for you to do something extra special. You can give the classic, adorable gifts of chocolates, flowers, jewelry, or stuffed animals. Many people will go out for supper at a nice restaurant. I think it’s nice to receive a gift on this holiday even if it’s small or from a friend. In middle school I would always buy my closest friends flowers to show that I appreciate them, and I’m glad that they are my friends.

I think Valentine’s Day is a great holiday for people to show their loved ones just how much they care. People may say, “You’re suppose to show your loved ones you love them every day,” but Valentine’s Day just makes it more special.
