Other wise known as Valentines Day, Single Awareness Day has become a national holiday represented by candy, roses, and Hallmark cards. SAD is nothing but a reminder to those who have no husband, wife, girlfriend, boyfriend, etc. and when represented in the media creates an unrealistic fantasy of how life should be; amazing, dresses with diamonds and men all dressed up like Prince Charming, sitting in a nice, romantic restaurant with expensive food and plenty of flowers when in general, girls are delivered flowers while their husbands are at work and sometimes taken to a movie or out to dinner. Have you really ever celebrated a Hollywood SAD? And you may notice that the abbreviation for Single Awareness Day is SAD. *Coincidence? I think not!! Hallmark should stop creating Holidays such as Valentines Day, St. Patricks Day, Grandparents Day (did you know that's a real holiday?), etc. to try and take young people hostage and sell more cards. It's not all about money. Why do we need a holiday to spontaneously suprise someone and tell them you love them? Think about it.
