Valentine’s Day is a day to celebrate romance and to appreciate the person you really care about. This is the day where you just go all out for this person; you buy roses, chocolates and a lovey-dovey card.

Valentine’s Day is the day where the greeting card companies like Hallmark, American Greetings and Minted get large amounts of money. For example, the Hallmark corporation website says, “Hallmark has 1,500 diverse Valentine’s Day cards available. Last year, the Hallmark corporation sold between 7 and 8 billion dollars on their cards with 145 million of those cards being Valentine’s Day cards.” The American Greetings card corporation website has said, “The corporation has sold roughly 2 billion dollars worth of cards.”

But, you shouldn’t just celebrate your love to the person you’re really passionate about for only one day. You should appreciate the person that you truly love year round not just one day out of the year. Also, you shouldn’t feel obligated to buy your loved one a ton of gifts on Valentine’s day spending time with them is all they really need. When you spend time with your love it shows that you care a whole lot more than being out in the store buying them tons of gifts.
