Valentine’s day, as we all know, is a special day for all the love bugs out there.

Generally, people think of getting wives, girlfriends, or any significant others, special things to show their love and affection like flowers, chocolate, special outings, or even proposals.

What people may seem to forget is that Valentine’s Day isn’t just about couples in love anymore. It’s about love in general.

Whether it’s mommy or daddy, husband or wife, or even your kids, as long as you love someone you can be in on this annual “love fest.”

You don’t need a valentine to celebrate and get gifts because not everyone has a Secret Santa on Christmas, but I’m pretty sure most would get some sort of gift regardless.

Don’t limit your celebration just because you don’t have baby boy or a baby girl.

Go hug your sister and tell her you love her even if she gets on your nerves, or buy Nana some flowers and throw your dog Scruffy a bone.

If having a valentine is that big a deal, get one.

Don’t want one? Don’t bash the holiday.

Still don’t know what to do? How about we all just spread the love.
