21th of January – International Hug Day

On January 21, one of the sweetest holidays is celebrated around the world - International Hug Day. It was founded in the USA in 1986 under the name National Hugging Day, and then rapidly spread around the world.

According to the tradition of the holiday, even a stranger can be embraced on this day.

Despite the young age of this holiday, today it is difficult to find its author: it is not known who first came up with this idea of a “close” celebration of January 21, and why this particular date was chosen. It is believed that the initiators of the holiday are students.

It was on this day that guys and girls hugged each other without any intimate background. By the way, in recent years, it is young people who have been holding various flash mobs on January 21 dedicated to this holiday. According to a kind of legend, during a friendly hug, people exchange warmth.

It is also important to note that there is another Hug Day, which is celebrated annually on December 4th; it traces its history back to the 70s of the 20th century. But January is better known, and therefore celebrated more widely.

Psychologists believe that people who seek to embrace you want to experience a sense of security, comfort, and love. And hugs accompany us throughout life. We hug friends and family when we meet, after parting, hug each other to express our joy and gratitude.

It is also nice that the celebration of January 21 will not require any material costs. You just have to generously reward everyone you deem necessary with your warmth. Congratulating on the holiday, give your loved ones hugs as a sign of a warm attitude towards them, thereby reminding them of your sincere warm feelings.
