Valentine’s Day: It’s Almost that Time Again
They’re back.
Those commercials…
As a general rule, I find Hallmark-issued holidays annoying. Valentine’s Day is no exception because nothing says I Heart You quite like a pajamagram. You know what I’m talking about? You’ve probably seen the pajamagram television commercial begging you to overpay for an itchy pink nightgown that no woman in their right mind would want to wear (I guess that’s the point) and a tacky, hotel-like Do Not Disturb sign that you can hang on your bedroom door for your kids to ignore.
And it’s not just the pajamagrams and the overpriced roses that are annoying. It’s all the other Valentine stuff, too. It’s the sappy cards and the roadside roses and those dorky stuffed bears with the I love you tattoos on their furry little arms made somewhere by elves, presumably, in Maine or Vermont. It’s the poor guys racing around the stores with the crazed looks on their faces at the end of the day on February 14 when they realize they forgot The Big Day and then feel like they’ve got to plunk down money on Valentine crap that will only be sold at your next garage sale or collect dust in a drawer somewhere.
