This is a day to make your sweetheart feel special and loved. The rest of the year is open to whatever. I do not have a sweetheart this year.
Holidays are funny to me. Considering their origins, and how they've grown into acts of consumerist bacchanalia, it can boggle those who don't choose a path of ignorance. Two examples are Christmas and Halloween.
The celebratory aspects of Christmas, like the tree and gifts, are rooted in pagan culture. Pop society has always used Christmas to flex it's money muscle, and it never thinks twice or at all about the birth of Jesus Christ.
Halloween is rooted in pagan harvest celebrations, and eventually Roman Catholocism picked that day for praying to all the saints of Christianity. Don't get me started on Catholocism. I'll save that for another time...
