Valentine’s Day is for many people to make a romantic thing to their loved ones or to make your feelings known to someone special. However, in Japan, some protesters have called for an end to public displays of love and claimed(宣称) the Japanese candy business is setting a “plot” which makes the day just another excuse for them to take our money away.

Do you think Valentine’s Day has become too commercialized(商业化的), or is it still a romantic day for lovers? You’re welcome to leave your comments below.

I am very proud of my record: I have been married for 15 years. I know my wife for more than 20 years. But as far as I can remember, never have I given her anything on this man-made special day. And I can’t honestly believe I ever will. Do I love her? Of course! Does February 14th have something to do with love? Just as much or as little as February 13th or February 15th.

Warning to women: Stay away from any man who complains about having to spend money for Valentine’s Day. No matter what they say, if they love and respect you, they will want to make you feel special. If they refuse, run as fast as you can in the other direction. They are not worth your time.

Valentine’s Day has become very commercialized but that doesn’t mean we should throw it out as a bad idea! It’s one day when we get a good excuse to make time in our busy lives to remember to tell people how much we love them. I’ve been telling my friends that today, as well as my boyfriend. It doesn’t mean that I don’t do it all year but it is a special day when we all show some extra kindness.
