MOUNT VERNON — Sweetest Day is coming up today, but don’t expect friends in other parts of the country to send presents. The holiday — despite being celebrated for eight decades — is no rival for Valentine’s Day and is mostly unknown outside the Midwest’s Great Lakes region.
Today, the original "Sweetest Day of the Year" has evolved into a romantic holiday, similar to Valentine's Day. It's become a day when boyfriends and girlfriends, husbands and wives exchange cards, presents, and share a dinner for two.
Sweetest Day, a pseudo-holiday, is celebrated on the third saturday of every October. It is one of the stupidest things ever. It makes Valentine's day look authentic - at least it's nationally recognized. Sweetest Day exists almost strictly in the midwest, specifically in Chicago.

Maybe you will go for a walk in the park and picnic there with warm blankets (it gets cold here in the Midwest by October!) Cuddling in a blanket while having a romantic picnic is always fun!
