The Valentine's Day Cynic. Feeling Rebellious Again

Scrooges do exist for every holiday. Here's one Valentine's Day Scrooge's article---Editor

I do not know about the rest of you but I am just about fed up and sick of all the various holidays. Every month it seems as though there is a new one coming around the bend. Stores begin decorating for holidays months beforehand and it drives me crazy. I do not want to pick through Christmas decorations in August, thank you very much.

One of the most annoying holidays is Valentine's day. Do not get me wrong. I am in a loving, wonderful relationship. I just do not like being told that on some random day in February I have to prove it to my mate and the rest of the world. Valentines day is meant to be romantic and all that jazz but the holiday itself does not have the most romantic of histories. I will not go into it but it involves Catholics and martyrdom.

I feel a bit awkward whenever my honey and I are watching tv and a stupid commercial for Valentine's day comes on. There we are, sitting in silence, waiting for it to be over. We love each other plenty but a stupid stuffed animal really does not do it for me anymore. I am not 12, thank you. I find these commercials condescending and patronizing.

I am a grownup. If someone wants to do something amazing and unforgettable for me on Valentine's Day, it does not involve valentine chocolates and roses. They could pay my car payment. That would last a lifetime. Valentine chocolates and any chocolates for that matter just make me fat and flowers die, so what is the fascination? Someone please tell me.

Valentine's Day is the most overdone of all holidays, even more so than Christmas. Bold statement, I know. But I think that it is true. It even alienates more people than Christmas. There must be more single people out there than there are people from a single, non-christmas-celebrating religion. Now how do they feel, huh? We go out of our way to make non-christians feel accepted during the holiday season, what about the dateless? What about them? Who does anything for them?

I think that we need to tone down the whole Valentine's Day thing. Being in a relationship or being in love is a personal thing and not everyone feels deeply in love on a random cold Thursday in mid-February. Leave me alone Russell Stovers! You too, rose-growers! I am happy in my relationship and I do not need your industries telling me I need stuff or to do more to prove it.

Editor's Note: Hey Valentine's Day Scrooge, get a life! Go get some body work, clean out your colon, and do something to feel better! Your cynicism is annoying and you need to be put in your place. PMA. Positive mental attitude. Loving others never hurt anyone and you act like a spoiled little brat who is resentful at the world for not getting something in life. As the hypnotherapists would say, go back in time to a holiday you remember, bring up the memory. What is happening? Most likely you had a bad Valentine's Day and a bad Christmas and you're still holding a grudge. Find a way to dismiss it and change that memory into something positive. Do it now!
