Roses are Red…

by Nicole

Listen up ladies, cupid is holding out on us! After much research I have found yet another day to celebrate love, because frankly I don’t think one day a year of flowers, romantic dinners and sappy cards is enough! Yes, Valentine’s Day is not the only holiday that keeps cupid busy, welcome to the wonderful world of Sweetest Day, the third Saturday of October (Oct. 21, 2006). Sweetest Day was established in 1922 by a Cleveland, Ohio, candy company employee. Seeking to bring happiness to the lives of those who often were forgotten, Herbert Birch Kingston and a handful of others who supported his efforts distributed candy and small gifts to orphans, shut-ins and others to show them that someone cared. Observance of Sweetest Day is prevalent in the Great Lakes region – where the holiday originated – which includes such states as Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, and Wisconsin.

So step it up guys, you have 2 weeks to order the flowers, stop by the jewelers and pick up a card from Hallmark. Most of all, it is another excuse to tell those you love how much you appreciate them!

P.S. My flowers can be sent to my office!
