The Art of Valentine’s Day
A few days ago, my friend IM’d me and said that he was nervous about Valentine’s Day. He’s been dating his girlfriend for less than a year, long distance, and thought he had VDay all figured out…that is until one of his friends said his gift wasn’t creative enough. Here’s what he did:
1. Had a bouquet of roses sent to his girlfriend’s workplace
2. Bought her a box of chocolates, DUH!! 
3. Made her a Build-a-Bear in scrubs because she is studying to be a nurse
I told him this was adorable and more than enough, that his friend who told him he wasn’t creative must have had something stuck up her bum. Then I thought, “Should we even celebrate this holiday to begin with?”
And then I decided, yes. So what if it’s a Hallmark holiday? Christmas is for Jesus, birthdays are for age, and Hallmark realized that men needed to show their significant others how much they really love them. I think the holiday is brilliant.
Today I woke up to a box of chocolates (so what if everyone does it? it’s my favorite food!!!) and a dozen roses (so what if everyone gets them? they’re my favorite flower!!!). To wake up to these items means that my boyfriend’s extremely male brain had forethought. I love him to pieces.
Here’s my pretty roses…every day should be Valentine’s Day!!!
