Welcome to the Fools for Luv Valentine's giveaway hop!

Valentine's Day.
A day to celebrate romance! As if we needed an excuse for that, right?
Some people don't like Valentine's Day. They think it's just an unsubtle, over-commercialised grab for our cash, an invented imperative for us to spend money on stuff that doesn't mean anything. If we don't buy flowers and cards and chocolates and fancy dinners out, we're bad boyfriends or girlfriends or spouses.
And... yeah. Maybe there's a bit of that in it.
But you know what? Bring it on. Because Valentine's Day is made for people who don't know how to say 'I love you'.
It's for the shy kid, who on any other day of the year is too mortified to give that sexy, popular, out-of-their-league girl or guy flowers. Valentine's Day gives them courage.
It's for the one who's too embarrassed or bruised or broken inside to make a fuss of their special person. Valentine's Day gives them strength.
Or it's for the unassuming spouse who's just there, day after day, looking after their family, and lacks a bit of romance in their life. It gives him or her an excuse to say, hey, let's go somewhere special just for us.
So sure, it's commercialised and twee. But if Valentine's Day is the excuse you need? Grab it with both hands. Because sometimes, we all need a little help.

I'd still leave it to the person I deeply care about and who cares about me because it is really awful to give someone a present and see that they don't care and don't appreciate!

ReplyDeleteBut, I will answer this way... I would give it to Joe Elliott of Def Leppard. Why? Well, when I was younger I had a rough go at life and contemplated suicide and if not for their music I would have killed myself. So I would give him the biggest box of chocolates I could and thank him for making music that spoke to me.
Thanks to him and his band, I have a great husband and two wonderful children.
