No... Even on holidays I'm not given to much celebration although I'm in fair spirits most of the time. Hell I don't even let people fuss over my birthday. Most don't even know what day it is and I like it that way.

But more importantly, I'll have to look that up. I had seen it on calendars, especially older "vintage" ones but without hitting reference material I can't figure out what is so sweet about October 21. I would think ten days later, Halloween because all the chocolate bars and Resses cups those kids will be wolfing down.

It was a Hallmark employee that started it around 1922 Miki. You can read about it here:

I admit, when I first heard about it, I figured that the card companies just wanted to make extra money outside of Valentine's Day. But it has become popular so I guess folks like the idea.
