I love him so much! !
Sweetest Day ...
Is always the third Saturday in October.
This holiday is much more important in some regions than in others (
How It Started
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 that 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 broadened to include everyone, and became an occasion for remembering others with a kind act or a small remembrance. And soon the idea spread to other cities all over the country.
What It Is
It is an occasion which offers all of us an opportunity to remember not only the sick, aged, and orphaned, but also friends, relatives and associates whose helpfulness and kindness we have enjoyed.
Because for many people remembering takes the form of gift-giving, Sweetest Day offers us the opportunity to show others that we care, in a tangible way.

Sweet! Too bad the guy didn't think that Saturday might not be a good day for a holiday, because most people get that day off already. If he would've only thought of doing it on Monday, then I am sure that it woudl be a federal holiday by now.
Happy Sweets Day! Mmmm, candy.
What a Great HUBBY!! How fun. And they aren't even made out of wire!! just kidding
