Surf's Up Saturday- Happy Sweetest Day!

Today is Sweetest Day and for those of you who do not know what this is here is what Wikipedia defines it as!
***************************************************************************
Sweetest Day (From Wikipedia)
Observed by: Mostly Midwestern United States
Type: Local
Date: Third Saturday in October
2008 date: October 18th

Sweetest Day is an observance celebrated primarily in the Great Lakes region and parts of the Northeast United States on the third Saturday in October[1]. It is described by Retail Confectioners International as an "occasion which offers all of us an opportunity to remember not only the sick, aged and orphaned, but also friends, relatives and associates whose helpfulness and kindness we have enjoyed."[2] Sweetest Day has also been referred to as a "concocted promotion"[3] created by the candy industry solely to increase sales of candy.

Here are my pick's of love to celebrate Sweetest day, which we do celebrate at our house. Why complain about another reason to get chocolate and give presents?
