Valentine's Day, History, Hype, or a little of both. Maybe you have heard this, Valentine's Day is a made up celebration. The primary purpose is to get people to buy things like chocolates, jewelry, flowers and greeting cards.

A lot can be said about the commercialization of Valentine's Day but many people don't know the history of reason behind the day.

Valentine's Day is a celebration observed on February 14th each year. It is a day dedicated to expressing love and affection between intimate companions. The day is named after Saint Valentine, a Christian martyr who lived during the Roman Empire. Valentine's Day, History, Hype, or a little of both.

Traditionally, people celebrate Valentine's Day by exchanging cards, flowers, and gifts with their significant others. The color red is often associated with the day, symbolizing love and passion. Many couples also go out for romantic dinners or engage in special activities to celebrate their relationship.

Valentine's Day, History, Hype, or a little of both. Our original question, is Valentine's Day a made up holiday designed to get everyone to spend money. Or is it a real celebration, or a combination of both. While that is debated I will tell you from experience, if you have someone special in your life shell out a few bucks and buy them something to show them that they are special to you. It is an investment that will pay off in much more bliss.
