Much has been said about celebrating Valentine's Day. Though it started with St Valentine and reminding couples to show their love for one another, modern times show that it has since gone commercial, minus the religious connotation. Saint Valentine's Day, commonly shortened to Valentine's Day,is an annual commemoration held on February 14 celebrating love and affectionbetween intimate companions. (wikipedia ). And just like Christmas, shopping malls have made it commercial big time though we Christians observe Christmas as a day of obligation.
Come Valentine's Day tomorrow, lovers and couples will shower each other with heart-shaped gifts, soft toys, flowers and many more to show their love for one another. Others would also buy gifts for their loved ones, friends and family included.
For the rest of us, it would be another day to celebrate life...and show our love for one another.
I guess for me, I would rather enjoy the occasion and lets others celebrate it the way they want it, without any politicising or imposing our values and principles on others. Let people enjoy themselves, enjoy it with their families and loved ones.
I expect there will be weddings and probably some proposals and that would mean a lot to a lot of people. People have special dates to remember and I am sure Valentine's Day will hold some special memories to some people.
So to everyone out there, especially my family and friends, have fun and have a special Valentine's Day.
Cheers!
