Should Parents In New York Give Valentine's Day Gift To Their Kid

Today is Valentine's Day and many parents in New York are ready to give presents to their kids.

I am here to say, You Don't Have To!

WHAT IS VALENTINE'S DAY?

The definition of "Valentine's Day" according to britannica.com is a holiday that celebrates fertility.

The holiday has origins in the Roman festival of Lupercalia, held in mid-February. The festival, which celebrated the coming of spring, included fertility rites and the pairing off of women with men by lottery.

That's right, to me, Valentine's Day is a romantic holiday and if you choose to give someone a gift, it should be the romantic partner in your life
