Happy Valentine's Day!

Valentine's Day

February 14 is a day when people say I love you to their loved ones and have a chance to eat as much candy as possible! Some people don't like to celebrate this day but others go crazy about it. Considering it revolves around love most younger kids find it funny and just an excuse to eat chocolate. I don't understand why everyone can't just be a valentine to all. It should be focusing on anyone who you loves or loves you back in your life. I know I think of all the people in my life whom I love to be my valentines. There is no rule about who is allowed to be your valentine. So I say that everyone should be able to say "Happy Valentine's Day" to anyone they want BUT also be able to enjoy all the chocolate and sugary candy they want. Dressing up and wearing red and hearts, not just one but many--for all those who you love, all day is also part of the fun. Go out there on Friday February 14 and say I LOVE YOU to the ones who matter most to you today...I know I will be :).
