National Hug Day

National Hug Day - Needing a hug, It's National Hug Day and, considering the bummers, blunders and low blows these folks have suffered lately, they could use any extra embraces you have to spare.
National Hug Day, Nowadays, with all the drama going on in this crazy but beautiful world, huggers are an endangered species. Let’s bring them back by participating in National Hug Day, spreading the love and joy. Hug your family and loved ones today and remember to do it more often from now on. If you’re not comfortable hugging strangers, simply share a handshake or high five. National Hug Day was created by Rev. Kevin Zaborney in 1986; it has since been celebrated annually and continues to grow internationally. Zaborney wanted to help people show their emotions in public and spread more love throughout America. The official National Hug Day website declared Ellen DeGeneres and Gloria A. Mecca the Most Needing a hug. 
National Hug Day or National Hugging Day is an annual holiday created by Rev. Kevin Zaborney. It occurs on January 21 and is officially recognized by the United States Patent and Trademark Office, but is not a public holiday. The holiday was founded on January 21, 1986 in Caro, Michigan, and has since spread to multiple countries. The purpose for the holiday is to help everyone show more emotion in public.There is only one way you are supposed to celebrate the holiday, offer a hug to anyone and everyone you want. While National Hug Day and the Free Hugs Campaign share many similarities, there is not actual association between the two. Whether you hug a family member or a stranger, the mental and physical health benefits are the same
