Sweetest Day

Heres some info on the"holiday"

Sweetest Day is always the third saturday in October
"Over 60 years ago, a Cleveland man, believing that the city's orphans and shut ins too often felt forgotten and neglected, conceived the idea of showing them that they were remembered . He did this through the distribution of small gifts.With the help of his friends and neighbors, he distributed these small remembrances on a saturday in October. During the years followed , other Clevelanders began to participate in the celebration ceremony, which came to be called " Sweetest Day". In time, the Sweetest Day idea of spreading cheer to the underprivileged was broadebed to include everyone and became an occasion for remebering others with a kind act or small rememberance. Abnd soon the idea spread to cities all over the country."

I think it's cute and specially helpful in these times and ages. So Happy Early Sweetest Day everyone
