Valentine's Day is a day where lovers and friends express themselves through candy, gifts, flowers etc...But can flowers really tell someone how much you love them? Do we only celebrate our love for each other on one special day of the year?  Is this the ONLY day of the year that women can look forward to getting flowers and is the ONLY day of the year that women get flowers other than mother's day?  Why do we need a day to tell us when to show our love and appreciation for someone. If Valentine's Day didn't exist, would there be no giving of kisses, flowers, candy, lingerie etc..?
