I remember each year when 1 was a child ioc4in Forward to in because Rny Mother would buy me a special extra fancy Box of Candy she told me that in was also special to her growing up because she was from a fam it y of eight and la have your own Candy was quite a treat. Ii is just a Day set aside to Tell someone Hal hey arc important to you that you care. I guess it is sort of Ike Valentine j Day. My Enol her is dead now and i had forgotten about this Holiday myself. When i read your letter i was reminded of it again. 1 Hope i will continue the tradition with my own children from Nowon. Deb born bad a Fulgen Germany i just got through Reading the answer to the question about sweetest  although 1 Don t know who invented it 1 can assure you that in s not new this year. While in Okinawa 13 years ago 1 worked for Amer ican greeting. At thai time we already stocked sweetest Day cards. We had a lot of question Aslo be meaning of the designation sweetest  the cards were certainly a hit though with the unaccompanied soldiers and marines.  Bremerhaven sweetest Day has been in effect for Many years my husband and 1 were married on sweetest Day 10years ago and we celebrated it before we were married. We have been stationed in Germany Over five year and have purchased sweetest Day cards on base every year it definitely is not new this year. Kathy Polasky Meln Milo a Germany hallmark certainly cannot be Given credit for initiating the annual sweetest Day nor for that matter is it new lists year. I know someone in Virginia who has received sweetest Day Gin of Home made Candy each year from it College Friend since their graduation in 1970. So the tradition i knew went Al least Hal far Back. However a Quick Check with the local Library confirmed that the practice is indeed much older. According to the Complete Book of american holidays de Robert j. Myers Doubleday new York 1972a Cleveland Uhlon. Man a Tail 40 years sic. I Vine Ihm the City s orphan and shul ins too often Felt forgotten and neglected conceived the idea of showing them that they were remembered by distributing Small gifts Wilh the help of his friends and neighbors on a saturday in october during the years that followed other Cleve Landera began to participate and the Day came to be known As sweetest  the idea soon spread to other cities As  was broadened to include just about every one and not just the underprivileged. A retd Sci Day ii new commemorated on the third saturday of october every year. Since sweetest Day is not based on any group religious or ctr pc sentiments or on a family relationship it can be a reminder to each of in that a thoughtful word or deed need not be inspired by a holy Day of Holiday. Sgt. Dent Corr Bud a renin cd Germany sweetest Day has been around for a while. 1 have calendars dating Back to 1984 designating the third saturday in october As sweetest Day. Also t remembered that the first time my husband and i celebrated it it was 1983. Incidentally All of my calendars Are american greetings. But i m not saying the Day did not come form hallmark Theresa a. Fletcher Semb Achab Germany i Don t know How Long the Exchange representative you talked to has worked for the Exchange but Sweet est Day is definitely not new his year. Hallmark May have created it but it was at least 20 years ago. My friends and i exchanged sweetest Day cards when we were in Junior and senior High school. I graduated in june of 72 and joined the army in july that year. I be bought sweetest Day cards in various exchanges since october 72. Most of those cards were bought in Schweinfurt because we spent nine years Here. So i know they re not new to european exchanges either.
