It was started by candy makers originally to remember the sick, elderly, orphaned but also your friends, family, co-workers, etc. as a thank you for their helpfulness. I've never celebrated it even though apparently it is celebrated primarily in the Great Lakes since the Detroit and Cleveland candy makers promoted it. Now of course, Hallmark has turned it into another Valentine's Day. I always thought of it as non-romantic, which reading it's history, that's what it originally was. Leave it to Hallmark to turn it into another Hallmark holiday!
Today I went to the Dollar Tree to buy a birthday card. Right next to the birthday cards was a section filled with "Sweetest Day" cards. Is this "Sweetest Day" a new holiday or something? 'Cause I've never heard of it. And judging from the red and pink that's all over these cards, it looks like another Valentines Day. Can anyone confirm?
