Mostly I like holidays because of their connection to candy, not because they stand for anything I necessarily want to participate in. Valentine's Day is my favorite holiday for candy. I think this is true purely for the simple fact that other than chocolate, all the candy is red and pink. The red and pink flavors are usually the best. Whether the flavor is strawberry, raspberry or cinnamon, the pinks and reds never let me down. My favorite day of the year, and a CandyQueen proclaimed holiday, is the day after Valentine's Day, when all the candy is 50-75% percent off. The day after any candy holiday is good, but V-Day is undoubtedly my favorite. And just for shits & giggles, here is my hierarchy of holidays that bring out the best in sugar.
1. Valentine's Day
2. Easter
3. Christmas
4. Halloween
You may wonder why Halloween is last on my list, when that holiday is *all about candy.* The reason is because other than candy corn (which I do like) there is nothing unique to Halloween candy; just smaller versions of the same 'ol stuff. It excites me the least.
