Monday

Tomorrow is St. Valentine's Day. This is a holiday created by St. Hallmark. Nobody ever heard of Valentine's Day until Hallmark decided that it was a long stretch between New Year and Easter to sell greeting cards. So, there is Valentine's Day.

It is like Kwanza. It is an artificial holiday. He lived in the 200s and I don't think he really cared about lovers one way or another. Mainly because he probably was celibate. Or not?

This is again one of those lame holidays when once a year people show how much they love their partners (husbands, wives, girlfriends or boyfriends). What about the other 364 days of the year?

The way I feel if I love someone I show it every single day and not just one particular day a year.

TV is full of Valentine's Day oriented ads and cheesy movies.

I just remembered, Hungarians call it lemonade, Americans call it cheesy. We have been watching cheesy marathons. These are movies where Valentine's Day has about as much importance as Christmas. And that is totally unreal.

But anyway, tomorrow is the day and we will show our loved ones that they are special and we really love them, again.
