The True defention of Swetest Day

 What exactly is Sweetest Day? Well I have the answer to that..

The history of SWEETEST DAY dates back to 1922 when a man named Herbert Birch Kingston wanted to bring cheer to local orphans, elderly, homebound people and others, he felt may feel a little "forgotten" during other holidays. Kingston worked for a candy company in Cleveland, Ohio and started giving out candy to all the little "sweets" in the community. Following his initial efforts, local candy makers in Cleveland began to continue the tradition of giving and called it "The Sweetest Day of the Year" and distributed over 10,000 boxes of candy to over 26 Cleveland area charities their first year.

Over the years, Sweetest Day has become more of a romantic focused holiday to include more of the Valentines Day traditions of romantic dinners, greeting cards, ecards and of course chocolates and flowers. Some attribute this simply to the name of the holiday, while others feel it holds true to the original spirit of the holiday by making it the sweetest day of the year with candy.
