Valentine's Day

So, I've been looking around for the obligitory "I hate Valentine's Day!" posts on Vox and haven't come up with any (mind you, I haven't been looking very hard.), but I'm here to say two things A) I'm okay with Valentine's Day and B) No the reason isn't because I have a girlfriend. It's for a completely different reason and Here's why:
    Ever since I can remember, my mom has put on this event called the Red Dinner. Basically, it's real good meal that she put's on for the family with food that is red (clever, no?) For example, one year, we had Cabbage Salad with red onions, Spaghetti with Red Sauce, Red Jello/Fruit Cocktail and a Red Chocolate Cheesecake. It's become a family tradition and we really don't have any type of commeristic type of activity on Valentine's Day. We just sit down as a family and have a nice meal. Moral of the story: Valentine's Day is not all about commerism or romantic love. It can be about family and motherly type love.
