Do you guys celebrate Sweetest Day? Do you know what it is? (Its today)

I never heard of such a thing until I went to college, and haven't heard of it much since...but I know of a person or two who thinks I'm prOBably lousy for not celebrating it. haha.

Just curious if its just me, or if its really a "Hallmark Holiday" that not many people know about. Yes I know all you Northern Indiana people faithfully celebrate it. haha.

It actually isn't another Valentine's Day. According to Wiki, it was started by a group of candy makers in Cleveland who would passed out sweets (candy) to orphan, the elderly and the poor as a promotional effort. It stuck but didn't become wildly popular.

According to several other sites, it was started by one candy maker who wanted to be nice to orphans, poor people and others who were having a hard time. A couple of actresses took the idea and passed out thousands of boxes of candy to people in hospitals.
