For Sale: Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day is upon us once again. I must admit, I thought this "holiday" was cool at one time (when I was in the 6th grade!). I loved the little cards that came 30 to a box. Back then, the candy was ok but it was not as good as Easter goodies or Halloween treats. The little hearts that looked like Necco Wafers or better yet Tums with short and sweet messages on them like "Be Mine" "Hug Me" were better to eat than the school lunch.

But now Valentine's Day as an adult is just annoying. I'll admit that I'm more in love now than I have ever been but that still doesn't increase my admiration for this consumer's holiday. Many of us are just getting over Christmas bill paying and now it's time to get a card, boxes of chocolate, stuffed animals, flowers, romantic dinner, and for the ballers jewelry even.

Do your job 365 days a year, let your mate know how you feel on the regular and then on February 14th you don't have to make up for a year of not showing your feelings by trying to bring home everything the stores have for sale.

LADIES: Is it a major "turn off" if your man doesn't come to you bearing gifts on Valentine's Day?

FELLAS: Do you feel pressure to deliver the goods on February 14th?
