Sweetest Day is October 19th and it is the perfect day to take some time away from your hectic schedule and spend time with those you love. This sweet holiday dates back to 1921 when 12 chocolate makers joined together to hand out over 20,000 boxes of chocolate to the poor, the sick, the elderly, and those in orphanages.
