Valentine's Day Massacre

I despise Valentine's Day!  It's a holiday of pressure, stress, forced love, and embarrassment.  Designed to kick start sales and post holiday spending in the dead of winter.  Ok, I have a few issues that have never been resolved! This goes back to elementary school when all the children in our classes had to make an envelope to stick on the wall in the front of the classroom, for all to put Valentine's cards in.  Those little cheap cards with a clown, balloons, and elephants that had, To: and From: on them. Then when we get older the pressure of not knowing, are we just "friends" or more?  This can go wrong in so many ways.  

The embarrassment of it all!  I was never on top of the game with this, and made many a wrong call resulting in my face being as red as roses.  It's just a no win,  pressured to buy stuff to show your love, or aspiring love! A sea of red, oh my head!!  The scars the PTSD!!  This is the holiday to skip, but it is made in America! Buy American!  Oh man I need me some chocolate!!
