sweetest day
have you heard of it?
i was seeing all these mentions of it and just got tripped up on the lack of an article: "the sweetest day" maybe. seriously, try saying just "sweetest day" out loud or incorporating it into a sentence. i find it a tad difficult.
turns out it's a real holiday (if any can be real) created in cleveland in the 1920s. the idea was to give gifts to orphans, shut ins, etc. yes, shock, it was started by a candy company and according to them the proper gift to bestow on sweetest day is candy.
now, it seems like a prelude to valentine's day and you know how much i just love valentine's day.
happy sweetest day to all. sorry i didn't send a card.
