This year, Israel has fully embraced Valentines Day, the malls are festooned with red heart shaped paraphernalia and I have turned into the Grinch.
Let me state unequivocally that my objections are not based upon my status as a single person, currently uninvolved with a partner.
Valentines Day is a holiday created and sponsored by Hallmark, candy makers and flower sellers. Valentines Day mocks any unattached male or female, and says "Ha ha, NO ONE will be sending you a mushy card, NO ONE will be buying you flowers or planning a romantic dinner. You are not getting special Valentines Day Sex tonight, ha ha."
I do not enjoy feeling excluded. We all, all of us human beings on the planet, deserve to feel loved, every day of the year.
Bah Humbug...
