October is the month celebration for the holiday known as the National Sweetest Day and it is normally celebrated in the Midwestern US, and in some parts of the Northeastern US. It is a moment of sharing romantic expressions or deeds. This is the day for ladies to treat their guys and it is a turnaround from Valentine's Day, wherein the men dated on their partners. The Sweetest Day was also referred as a concocted endorsement made exclusively by the candy industry to increase their sales of sweets.
National Sweetest Day is now observed every third Saturday in the month of October by individuals of all ages. It is now in time to encourage everybody to be given in the littlest ways. From the start as the Candy Day in the year 1916, this day will remind us that smaller tokens will improve the lives of many people around us. While the day will start with sweets and encouraging us to bring home some sweets and candies for our dear ones and friends, but this day is filled with lessons of resilience, persistence, and making small things to be great.
