I..never understood Valentine's Day.

Why is there a holiday about showing how much you care for someone...when you do that every day anyway...?

It..doesn't make much sense. A little...pointless really.

You've got a very good point.

This holiday exists...?

... Valentine's Day? I cannot say I have heard of such a holiday, before. Much less, that there happened to be one that centered around such a topic.

It's to help finish off whoever didn't kill themselves over Christmas.

I don't get it either, but for some reason everyone gives me chocolate, so I don't mind it too much.

Besides the obvious 'it's just another holiday for the sole purpose of cashing in on commercialism'... I think people sometimes get a little caught up in life, and even though we try to show our loved ones we care about them, we sometimes take for granted the fact that they already know. It's nice to be reminded every once in a while.

Besides, the same thing could be said for Mother's Day or Father's Day. I don't think there's anything wrong with having a day to celebrate the people you care about.

Not everyone celebrates that holiday on Filgaia. It's sort of localized, depending on the traditions of the town you come from.

Personally, I think it's pretty pointless. Or it's some kind of bid by clever entrepreneurs to try and get you to buy a ton of chocolates. Typical money-making scam.

It's so men can show us women how great we are!

Sometimes people need a bit of a push. A special holiday can serve that purpose.

It just makes everything so much more romantic! How can you not love it?

From what I understand, Saint Valentine's day has become such a hyperbole of what it originally was.

I think it's nice to have an excuse to give chocolate to your friends and family! It's not the kind of thing you can do every day, but once in a while is fun.

It's an annoying day, really. Unless you get chocolates. But other than that, not cool at all.
