“I think Valentine's Day is one of those holidays like New Year's where people develop such high expectations that even if it's a decent day, it doesn't live up, and it's disappointing.”

Meaning

This reads as a warning about inflated expectations. It can be taken to mean that a day can be pleasant and still feel like a failure if people expect it to deliver more than it can, especially in romance-heavy celebrations. It lands for anyone who has felt let down by a holiday that was supposed to be magical, but was only ordinary.
