Who says Valentine's Day is dead? (Re-post for Uni source)

In relation to Valentine’s day… Who says Valentines is dead?! You still have to book a table prior to the night if you want a meal. And if you fancy a cheeky trip to the cinema, think again. Ann summers, Thorntons and Clintons are herding the customers in like sheep.

Now, to anyone, surely that screams that it’s still alive and kicking. Although you could look upon that in different ways. One looking like, “Awh isn’t that cute, romance isn’t dead, the flame is very much alive.” The other more like, “Yep. All valentines’ means is a cheap cheesy card, chocolate and sexy lingerie. All merely narrowing down to ‘that action that allows humans to produce babies’.”

But no matter what you think, it’s true. Valentine’s day is well and truly still going strong. Even to the singletons who decided to just spend time with their mates. Without even knowing it, you are in fact buying into the whole idea of valentine’s day.

Basically because, everywhere sees the day as one huge marketing process and your money will all be going into the same pot! As long as there’s couples and there’s money to be gained from the day, it will continue year after year. The shelves will be stocked up on every shade of red you can possibly imagine, fluffy teddies will be sat up with bows wrapped around them and love hearts absolutely everywhere! Now that’s screaming out to everyone ‘let’s do Valentines!’.

Judging by the amount of restaurants that had ‘fully booked’ displayed, it’s pretty evident that most couples will be doing something. Or maybe a guy is trying his upmost to woo the girl in his life. No matter what his aims. (Come on ladies, we all know what men are like! And well, let’s be honest. All men know what men are like!)

So, even if it is just an excuse to buy useless items or indulge in chocolate and food, that’s all we need! Any excuse is a good excuse for indulgence! Right?
