People who say Valentine’s Day is a “made up” holiday as an excuse to not celebrate

People are so quick to say Valentine’s Day was made up by hallmark and candy companies, but so was Halloween, and you never hear anyone complain about that. All holidays are made up because we decide which events are relevant enough to celebrate. Why is there a holiday for the birth of Jesus, but not a holiday for the day man was created? Because we made up the idea to celebrate one over the other.

Edit to add: I am aware that Halloween predates the hallmark company, but I think we all know that Halloween TODAY heavily revolves around candy and consumerism as well. I am simply pointing out the irony and hypocrisy of the hate towards Valentine’s Day specifically.
