Valentines Day

Right now everyone seems to be so involved in Valentine's Day. Commercials treat it like it's christmas all over again, and there is every concievable kind of candy available in little heart shaped packages. I don't understand how buying someone a fifty pound box of chocolates is going to say "I Love You". To me saying "I Love You" is doing something you ordinarily wouldn't do, like watching your significant other's favorite movie even if you hate it, eating at thier favorite resturant even if you don't really care for the food, watching that person's favorite sport even if it bores the pants off of you, or even just remembering something about that person that they think you have forgotten. Saying you love some one doesn't have to be a shopping spree, it's just three little words backed up by corresponding actions. Chocolate is nice, but I would rather my loved one hold me close, tell me how much they love me, and spend Valentine's Day remembering all the good memories and events that we have shared together. My point is: Love doesn't have to be expensive, it just has to be meaningful.
