Raised in New England we celebrated this day with much fanfair and an interesting and long now forgotten teaching and opportunity to show core values and character cherished by the tradition. We held true to opening many doors that were closed in earlier years. It was amazing to find that overlooked person that may have had a crush on you and you were totally unaware due to social and religious pressures. Yes that was over 5 decades ago, but regardless we never married all of them, lol, but we sure built friendships that lasted. Men were very honored at these surprises where a lady would have the courage to ask a gentleman to dance. I know I was. What better way to open the door of ones true inner feelings? Today? I am not too hyped on all the political correctness we stuff down people’s throats. My take.... we all bleed red. Guess I am just old school. I still advocate Sadie Hawkins Day. :-)
