There are many enjoyable aspects of Valentine’s Day, one being to eat fun desserts and give or receive gifts. The holiday can be a time to participate in fun social gatherings; going out for dinner or attending parties could be one of the many examples.
When asked about his thoughts, Tyler Roxworthy, a junior attending La Jolla High School, stated, “No, I don’t think it’s outdated. I think Valentine’s Day is a good holiday to celebrate with your significant other.”
Though the holiday is traditionally known as a romantic holiday when someone enjoys a day to appreciate the person they love, it can also be a great time to spend with friends. It can also be a day to obtain delicious treats that would make someone’s day.
Sophomore Natalie Healey wanted to share her thoughts and opinions, “No, I don’t think Valentine’s Day is outdated. I’ve always loved Valentine’s Day because I enjoy the treats and pretty colors. I have lots of happy memories surrounding the holiday.”
Even though Valentine’s Day cannot be celebrated by some, it can’t be considered a useless holiday. When viewed the right way, Valentine’s Day is a big day of the year to celebrate with loved ones to show appreciation.
