Many companies always begin to relieve commercials about hotel packages, chocolates and jewelries at this time of the year, because February is the month of love. February has been considered the month of love because of Valentine’s Day. Some people say that Valentine’s Day is just a lucrative marketing gimmick of chocolate companies. No one can deny that it was initiated by the chocolate companies as a means of increasing their income. However, the Valentine’s Day has played an important role of showing and verifying love between lovers.
In Korea, females usually give chocolates and gifts to males who they love. It has been very common to make the chocolates by themselves; therefore, every candy shops is always crowded by many women who are willing to buy some ingredients of chocolates and spend a day making sweeties for their sweethearts every February.
I also have made chocolates and cookies a couple of years ago. It took quite long time to make and wrap it. After finishing it, I really got sick of chocolates, and I didn’t even want to smell at any chocolates! =( However, making something sweet for someone I love, and seeing him so happy made me pleased too.
Even though it started as a marketing gimmick of some companies, I think it would be a good opportunity to show love between couples. A month filled with love in a harsh world, how romantic and wonderful thing it is!
I love your idea of making something for your friend even though it was a lot of trouble to do it. In the end, it was a very special event. :)
