Sweetest Day: Not Another Fake Holiday

If you are outside of the Great Lakes region of the United States, you might not have heard of it. Basically, every October, people celebrate Sweetest Day - mainly in Ohio. Some of the comments I read stated that people did not want to participate in another "fake" holiday made up by the Hallmarks and American Greetings (which is based out of Cleveland) card companies.
