Valentine Commercialism

With it being Valentine today it only fair to notice how soppy everything is. It sickens me even in a relationships I don't want to listen to love songs that aren't even romantic or 'sexy', all the songs I consider romantic won't ever do on 'the greatest love songs of all time'.


With so much pink and red everywhere it does make you wonder how much commercialism you can take. And do you really want a box of chocolates to say 'I love you' for you. But then again even in the current environment commercialism is all over the place. It's in each and every holiday, Christmas, Easter, Halloween, Mother and Fathers Day and there just the main ones. Does it mean we enjoy it any lease, it might be tainted by overbearing environment in supermarkets. But if you have a partner why not celebrate it. You only live once so why not celebrate it, and if you hate giving your money to the chains, then don't it can still be a special day. Buy from the underdogs, go out for a meal in a local family run place or just send the time together but don't just decide not to live.
