So, tell me about this Valentines. What time is the massacre?

((we have visitors! I am being good and social, which means I will be slow.))

. . .

The massacre.

[skullkingabout]

To celebrate Valentine's Day!

[attorneyatlol]

And how does a massacre fit in, if I may ask?

[skullkingabout]

Why, that's what we're celebrating!

Isn't it?

[attorneyatlol]

I don't recall there being any massacres associated with the "holiday."

[skullkingabout]

All holidays start somewhere!

[attorneyatlol]

Pardon?

[skullkingabout]

A holiday just doesn't appear overnight, you know. Though as it happens, it seems the holiday and the massacre are unrelated.

It's all very confusing.

[attorneyatlol]

Perhaps it would have been more fruitful to have researched that beforehand.

For the most part, Valentine's Day is now a holiday pushed by card and chocolates companies to increase their revenue.

[skullkingabout]

I did. Just not well enough.

Now that sounds promising! Tell me more.

[attorneyatlol]

Of course.

By encouraging gifts to one's loved ones in the form of expensive boxes of chocolates, elaborate cards that tend to be far more gaudy than they should be, and other over-priced gifts, the companies involved in cards and sweets profit due to the fact that their sales increase because of said encouragement.

[skullkingabout]

What type of overpriced gifts?

[attorneyatlol]

Oddities that one will most likely not use in the grand scheme of thing that cost more than double their actual worth.

[skullkingabout]

Ah! I think I can handle those!

[attorneyatlol]

Mm?

[skullkingabout]

Leave everything to me. This year, Valentine's Day will be terrible!
