Sweets for the Sweetest
Does Sending Love Really Need a Reason?
Happy Sweetest Day!
Celebrated the third Saturday in October every year, Sweetest Day originated in Cleveland, Ohio in 1922. Another holiday originated in the Midwest! Herbert Birch Kingston wanted to bring some happiness into the lives of those who were forgotten. With the help of friends, he began to distribute candy and small gifts to orphans and shut-ins.
Sweetest Day has developed into a day to celebrate romantic love too and it still is a big holiday in the Midwest and parts of the Northeast in the United States.
