Why is valentines day so important?

In today's society valentines day is celebrated everywhere. I see girls walking around with roses, chocolates, teddies and often wonder do people esp. the youngsters even know what it stands for and the history behind it or is this just an excuse for companies to make more money?
I often get the disappointed look from family/friends upon telling them my husband and I don't celebrate valentines day.
Why is there so much pressure? Do you feel it too?
Shouldn't we love and care for each other every day of the year? What is so special about that particular day?

I think it's all a bit of fun. I don't take it too seriously (ie get offended and think hubby doesn't love me if there are no roses) but we usually use it as an excuse to get out and have a nice dinner or something. Yes I think companies exploit it but we take the bait.
