Why do we celebrate Valentine's Day?

It is decades since my last post. Haha. Anyway, since its February. What comes in your mind? Leap Year? Valentines? etc..In this post, i would like to discuss about Valentines day. Its only 2 days for this holiday.

Before i discuss it, i would like to know your conclusion about the previous topic with this questions:
Did you change your belief about beauty? Why?How can you enlighten people about the definition of beauty? based on your belief?
Yes, only two questions, i can't think of anything but i think you can answer this questions.
Lets back to original topic. Valentines day. What is Valentines Day?
Valentines Day - Saint Valentine's Day, commonly known as Valentine's Day,or the Feast of Saint Valentine,is observed on February 14 each year. It is celebrated in many countries around the world, although it remains a working day in most of them. - Wikipedia
A man named St. Valentine was in prison for stealing something and he wrote his love one letters all the time and he signed his letter from your love ,Valentine. In those times, the guards would read the letters. Its a really deep story and trust me guys are.not like St. Valentine anymore - Carmen Yahoo! Answers
Okay, lets skip that part. Valentines Day is a common holiday to people by sharing love all over the world. The alternative name is Hearts day. Its tradition that we celebrate it with our family,friends or our special ones. Common people celebrating it by watching movies,eating to resturants etc. but other people just staying in their house and playing computer. (Well, i think i will be alone, so yeah, im playing computer or reading ebooks.) So every February 14, we celebrate Valentines Day.

Why do we celebrate Valentines Day? What is so special about this holiday? Is it because we are used to this day? People like me, always alone, not so much paying attention to this holiday but still sad because we don't have a lovelife. Yes, LOVELIFE. One of the keywords to Valentines. Some people propose or celebrating monthsary in this holiday. So it is really special, but the question is why.

I've search in google about this question, well, its just pop up my mind when im thinking a new topic for my blog. I reviewed their answers. Giving cards, flowers or chocolates, sharing love to our peers is their most answer. And that qoute above is about the history of this holiday. 
For me, we celebrate Valentines Day because:
--> To express the love to our peers.
--> Its just traditional or we used to. No really reason.
--> I somewhat agree about the marketing strategy.

I've post about this because i want to know why you celebrate it.  I know i am jumping again and this topic is rubbish. Lol, its just my opinion. Or my perspective about this day. (Because im alone? Lol) So, i want to know your side about this, I hope that you still celebrate it even you are alone. Make yourself happy or be with your peers to celebrate this day. Because even we don't really have a reason to celebrate this holiday, We will be closer to our peers and love them more.
