If Giving Gets Growls

Valentine's Day is a travesty! It ought to be cancelled, or at the very least reinvented. And I think I know exactly how to do that. Maybe. Seriously. If you're going to give a gift, make it good. That's my point. Good gifts bring love and happiness. Bad gifts bring anger and violence. No gifts bring depression and more violence. Nobody likes violence. Some people do. I do, to an extent. But not when it's directed at me! And I'm sure you don’t like that very much, either. It's time to rectify this horrible situation!
