Valentine's Day is a day that many people celebrate around the world but, why do they do that? I think that most people doesn't know very much about this day, about its history, and I include myself, in fact, these days I heard something about it but not consider myself an expert on the topic.
Personally, I think that February 14 th is just like 13 th or 15 th or any other day of the year, if you love somebody you can prove it at any time, any day, it doesn't matter if it's Valentine's Day or Halloween, however, it's nice to have a special day for love and friendship but I think everything about this day is just a big trick of marketing.
As we approach this date, we just need to take look around to see Valentine's Day everywhere, if we go to a restaruant we can see posters with special things for that day, if we go to stores we can see a lot of merchandise relating to the holiday, if we turn on the radio in the car we can listen things about Valentine's Day.
This is the reason for what I think, I'm not against this celebration, actually, I like Valentine's Day but I relate it more with a commercial activity than with love and friendship.
I completely agree with you Ramón.
