Happy Sweetest Day

A holiday dedicated to giving candy to the needy is a sweet way to make a good day better. This tradition originated in 1922, when Herbert Birch Kingston, an employee of a local candy company, began distributing sweets to shut-ins and orphanages. Today, the holiday is celebrated in many states, including the state of Ohio.

Just like Valentine’s Day, the idea behind the holiday is to spread the goodwill and kindness of others. Whether you are giving candy, volunteering at a shelter, or simply making your loved one a homemade treat, this holiday is a perfect way to spread the sweet spirit. Organize a social gathering with friends or family to help celebrate the holiday and spread goodwill.

While the holiday originated in Cleveland, Ohio, it has grown to become a worldwide phenomenon. Today, more than a million children celebrate this sweet holiday each year. As more people become aware of its importance, more people are starting to celebrate it. Even if you are not a native of this region, you can celebrate Sweetest Day by sending candy to people in need in your area.

Whether you celebrate this holiday with your loved one or your children, it is important to remember that it is a day to celebrate the sweetest things in life. For those who are single, you can send your significant other a bouquet of flowers or a plant to show that you care. You can even send an e-card to your loved one to celebrate the day with love and kindness.

It’s important to make your loved ones feel loved and appreciated on Sweetest Day. Give them sweet treats and make them smile. It’s also a great time to buy your beloved something that they’ll love. For those who are celebrating a sweet anniversary or simply celebrating their wedding anniversary, give them a gift for Sweetest Day.

As the name implies, National Sweetest Day started as a candy day. In 1916, the National Confectioners’ Association created a holiday to encourage Americans to buy sweets in their local stores. This holiday is celebrated on the second Saturday of October, and candy store owners advertised in newspapers to encourage their customers to buy sweets. Although the day was shortened during WWI due to rationing sugar, it was revived in 1919 for a week-long celebration.
