I will be lame and say happy Sweetest Day to my favorite guild!
(Sweetest Day is an invented corporate holiday...)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SweetestDaySweetest Day is a holiday celebrated primarily in the Great Lakes region, and parts of the Northeast United States, on the third Saturday in October. It is described by Retail Confectioners International as an "occasion which offers all of us an opportunity to remember the sick, aged and orphaned, but also friends, relatives and associates whose helpfulness and kindness we have enjoyed." Sweetest Day has also been referred to as a "concocted promotion" created by the candy industry solely to increase sales of sweets.
How it's celebrated:
Friends, family, and lovers often give each other candy, flowers, and cards on the Sweetest Day. Like Valentine's Day, the Sweetest Day is associated with heart-shaped boxes, and the colors pink and red. Unlike Valentine's Day this is a day where women (and not men) dote on their significant other by giving them gifts.
