The fact that V-Day is my favorite holiday has absolutely nothing to do with romantic dates or even boys for that matter! Whether I’m dating someone or single, it doesn’t matter, Valentine’s Day has always been and will always be my favorite holiday for a few simple reasons:

1. Everything is PINK and RED on Valentine’s Day!

2. I have an excuse to be decked out in PINK and looking all Girly!!

3. There are Flowers EVERYWHERE!

4. People are genuinely happy. (No matter how much they “say” they hate Valentine’s Day).

If you happen to be one of those people who hates Valentine’s Day (you probably call it S.A.D. Day – Singles Awareness Day) do me and yourself a favor this year…Love it instead! I promise, it’s a whole lot more fun if you decide to enjoy it. Go out and buy the little kiddie Valentine’s Day cards that you stick a sucker or pack of lifesavers to – write a little something on each one, and give them out to all your friends! I promise, promise, promise you will have so much fun! You’re friends will laugh and then tell you how sweet it was to think of them (especially the single ones!)

But I really love this holiday because it’s a time to tell those who you love how you feel about them! It’s the one day that it’s “ok” to be all nice and frilly to your friends, male or female. If you’re the type person who has trouble telling people how you feel about them, this is the one day you can do that without being embarrassed. So go ahead, tell someone you LOVE them, LIKE them, ENJOY being around them, or just VALUE their friendship – if no other day, then on February 14, 2010!

Have no fear, this won’t be the only Valentine’s Day post you see from me! So go ahead, leave me a comment and tell me what you’d like to see here regarding my fave – V-day! I’ll even tell you about the brutal Valentine’s Day date I had in college (It turned out ok though).

So what are your views of Valentine’s Day? Do you have plans? Tell me!
