November 3rd is Housewife's Day. It is a day to recognize those women who step off the career track and take on the task of caring for the family home and children. Both tasks are a full time job to be sure. While there is no paycheck attached to this career, there are countless advantages and immeasurable dividends. If ever there were a labor of love, being a stay at home mom and domestic engineer fits the bill. Pause today and say, “Thank you!” on Housewife's Day!
Sweetest Day is really all about the sweets. The holiday, commonly referred to as a Hallmark holiday, by many people, really is a Candy Holiday. A consortium of candy makers planned the first Sweetest Day, 84 years ago. The committee distributed over 20,000 boxes of candy to orphans, elderly, and the newsboys in Cleveland, Ohio. The move was one part philanthropy and one part marketing. The candy men or Confectioners were hopeful that people would follow their example and buy candy for friends, neighbors, children, parents, and lovers.
In modern times, the holiday is more like the Valentine’s Day of autumn. Chocolate, flowers, candy and a card exchanged between lovers and married couples. In 2006, Hallmark marketed 151 cards for the holiday. In certain parts of the country the holiday is very much about candy and in others less so. Either way, it seems that a holiday started by Candy Men, really should involve some luscious treats for one and all. So send your sweetheart a gift this sweetest day.
