Sweetest Day email this discussion to a friend?

There is a tradition that is celebrated in my part of the U.S. called Sweetest Day. It is to be observed this Saturday. I never knew of this holiday until I moved back to the midwest. We did not celebrate it in the south where I grew up. Do you celebrate Sweetest Day in your area? To me it is just like Valentine's Day where you gift your sweetheart with a card and flowers or candy. I have heard it said that this is just a holiday created by the greeting card industry. What do you think?

DFrodeo, I would assume that it is a holiday that is only celebrated regionally since many people have never heard of it. It is very big in my area though.

I guess it is the thought that counts, 3lilangels. It's a big deal to some people, but not so with others. Anyway, Happy Sweetest Day to you too.

Well Worldwise it started out in Cleveland as chocolate donations to old folks, orphans and the poor. But yes you do have a point, it was made into a sort of hallmark holiday but it didn't spread.

I don't really recognize it as such, but a couple of exes tried pulling it on me (surprise surprise -_-). Anyways, the only thing I did for this year was just visit Grandma and spent some time with her.

I did some more research on the subject myself, progamer, and maybe that is why it is so big in my area-I'm not too far from Cleveland. The vendors of products associated with the holiday really do a booming business here.
