The Anti-Valentine.

Origins of Valentine's Day
Some hate it, and for some it is just another day on the calendar. But a good number of people love February 14th, and that is what the day is all about. But what is Valentine’s Day? What are its origins?
Saint Valentine’s Day (shortened to Valentine’s Day) is named in the honor of Saint Valentine, the patron saint of lovers who, it is believed, was murdered on Feb. 14th AD 270. During that time, the Roman emperor, Claudius the II, cancelled all marriages and engagements in Rome, as he was having a hard time getting men to join the military, and he believed married men, being emotionally attached to their wives and families, did not make good soldiers.
However, Valentine secretly married couples until he was caught, then, refusing to renounce his Christian beliefs, he was sentenced to be beaten to death and have his head cut off.
There is an additional modern embellishment to The Golden Legend provided by American Greetings to history.com and widely repeated despite having no historical basis whatsoever. On the evening, before Valentine was to be executed he would have written the first “valentine” card himself, addressed to a young girl variously identified as his beloved, as the jailor’s daughter whom he had befriended and healed. It was a note that read “Love, from your Valentine.”
It was the pope who set aside Feb. 14th to honor St. Valentine in AD 496. However, the day was not often celebrated until the Middle Ages. Giving gifts and exchanging hand-made cards became common in England around the 18th century, while in the 1840s the holiday caught on in the United States.
Today, approximately one-fourth of all the cards sent in a year are sent on Valentine’s Day. But while the day is about love, cards, chocolates and flowers in Canada, the day is celebrated differently around the world.
For example, in Spain books are often given on Feb. 14th, while in Finland the day marks the honoring of friends, not lovers. In South Korea and Japan, women are to give chocolate to men on Valentine’s Day, while men are to give sweets to women on White Day one month later.

Anti-Valentinism
Some people are Anti-Valentine. Why is that? Well for some, Valentine’s Day is a day for commercialism, those are the anti-consumerists. These people are strictly against Valentine’s Day because they see it as a day where people buy useless commercialized items for their beloveds. A lot of Valentine items are advertised, and people feel that they must get their lovers the best gift possible; so it becomes a race of who is going to get the best gift, and valentine items are sold in enormous quantities. Stores will be decorated with red; they become filled with red teddy bears and red hearts. “I love yous” are everywhere, so are the red roses..
For others, Valentine’s Day is a day where people are “forced” to have romantic love, while they themselves are not romantics, but anti-romantics. For those people, Valentine’s Day is irritating, since people are celebrating something they sincerely dislike, romantic love.
Anti-Valentine Cards have been popular almost as long as Valentine cards have been. They are typically cynical or sarcastic towards romance or the commercialism associated with Valentine's Day. Valentine’s day is the one day of the year that you are supposed to show your love to that special someone. More important than birthdays, anniversaries, and memorials; yes Valentine's Day says I love you. But in reality, this day is the same as every other day. If you have a special someone, then why wait until a "magical" day in February to show your love. Are you more "in love" around February 14th? Is there some special significance to this particular day in a romantic relationship? Nope!

While greeting card companies, chocolate manufacturer's, jewelers, and five star restaurants love this day, it has only to do with the almighty dollar. A celebration of love that comes once a year is a celebration of love that probably won't last very long. Valentine's Day is a commercialized success, much in the way Christmas has been torn apart by companies that make toys, electronics, and other popular Christmas gifts. There is not any reason to set up a special day to show the one you love, how much you love them. If you are in love, you will show it, and show it often. If Valentine's Day is what you wait for, then you have been sucked into the commercialization. We are bombarded with advertising that says spend, spend, spend and show your love. From my experiences of what true love really means, I see no reason to go on a spending spree one day a year, or any reason to splurge on a particular day. If the key to your heart is a special gift on Valentine's Day then you have fallen prey to its commercialization. If the purpose of Valentine's Day is to find that special gift to show your love, then you have also fallen prey to its commercialization. Show your love to your romantic partner whenever you feel it, and as often as you feel like doing so. Don't wait for a "special day" in February, when the happiest people are those companies making a fortune off the special day that is the same as any other day for two people in love. If you take a look at the statistics for Valentine's Day, you will find most people actually believe that it is
just another commercial holiday to empty your wallets. The jeweler's stocks rise, and Wall Street gets pumped knowing which companies are about to make a nice amount of money. You don't need a five dollar American Greeting's "I Love You" card, or a $500 necklace to say I love you. That is just the commercialized holiday we have all come to expect. When you are truly in love, every day is Valentine's Day, and all it requires is to love each other. Express your love on any day or every day. That is true love!
