Oh NO! Its February and all the craziness starts!
Ok –We’ve heard all of the arguments. It’s a marketing ploy thought up by the greeting card industry in order to pay for the fat-cats Christmas bonus. The “females” holiday of sorts…
I mean – who really wants a fluffy red pillow with “I Love You” embroidered on it? I’m not much of a fan really. I plan to spend the day getting drunk. Maybe with a bunch of single friends. We can laugh and point fingers at the couples at the other tables and possibly throw in some comments about how much fun it really is to be single. Hey – we can even start a food fight. But I somehow doubt the couples will be too pleased.
But nevertheless, cheap fluffy toys and tacky cards aside, sadly this day does still appeal to so many women out there. Maybe it’s just the thought that some secret admirer could actually gain the nerve 1 day in the year and send their secret little declaration… Its mainly the build up that bothers me most. Especially since I’m Very single and know I’m spending the 14th on my own.
But, as much as I hate to admit it, I’m still like any girl that receives a bunch of flowers. I blush furiously and my brain turns to mush trying to figure out who sent them (And you’re always too scared to ask someone if they sent it in case it wasn’t them either!).
Maybe we’re all softies at heart – congrats Hallmark employees – here’s to another bumper sales figure!
