It's my second Valentine's Day after my marriage! And I'm very excited about it.
There has always been a debate on Valentine's Day being a marketing gimmick and why the hell one should dedicate just one day to love. They say that it is a mega sales opportunity created by companies selling greeting cards, chocolates, flowers, stuff toys and even electronic products. May be it's true, but then don't you feel that the red hearts and flowers all across the city during Valentine's week create some magic! C'mon, don't tell me you don't adore it all. And you can always stay away from buying expensive gifts, if you do not wish to fall prey to marketing gimmicks.
Anyways, I have always been of the opinion that dedicating at least one day to a particular thing really makes it very special. Then it's up to you to celebrate for a couple of days, a week or a month for that matter. Don't we dedicate one day of the year to a birthday or an anniversary! Same applies to V day.
Well, me and my husband started the celebrations from 1st February and decided to spread the cheer for 14 days. The way we had an 11-day anniversary celebration! And trust me, we aren't dedicating all the 14 days to marketing companies to earn profit from us.
So forget debating why we should or should not celebrate Valentine's Day. Go ahead, spread love and make someone feel special.
