Check it out on wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valentine%27s_day<br />It wasn't about "romantic Love" until the middle ages, but I'm pretty sure there wasn't a hallmark then. And I think it's a nice idea too, I've always enjoyed it, regardless of my relationship status. I think people should use it as a time to appreciate everyone they love, including family and friends, so I would add to your suggestions that they should send flowers to their mom and things like that. One year when I was boyfriend-less a platonic male friend sent me roses - super sweet. So instead of just pitying yourself on VDay, people should think about others they know without that special someone and do something nice for them. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04635954965184366836noreply@blogger.com
