Probably because this is Just a "holiday" created SOLELY to sell merchandise (CANDY in this case)...
"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. It is described by Retail Confectioners International, as "much more important for candymakers in some regions than in others (Detroit, Cleveland and Buffalo being the biggest Sweetest Day cities)" and 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." Sweetest Day has also been referred to as a "concocted promotion" created by the candy industry solely to increase sales of candy."

yes, Andi C is correct i never remember celebrating St Georges Day at least in the last 50 years. we know its our saints day but we don't actually mark it as a celebration. it has nothing to do with the influx of non english people in anyway. we could say the government don't want us to celebrate but it's the fascists hijacked our flag that has made most people in this country angry. we need to reclaim the meaning of our flag and that is why over the last 10 years or so we have been promoting St Georges Day more than any other reason. yes i know not exactly a successful campaign, i think at the moment we are all more concerned and worried about paying bills and keeping our heads above water to worry about this one day .

I never heard of sweetest day until I moved to Michigan also.I guess the women in Michigan made that holiday to find out what guy has the most money.I guess Michigan women are gold-diggers.
