A hug a day keeps the blues away.

Hello and bear hugs to everyone today! On January 21^st people celebrate one of the cutest holidays – National Hugging Day. This special day is known by different names – Hug Day, International Hug Day, Send a Hug Day, World Hug Day, and Bear Hugs Day! A really awesome idea of free hugging has instantly spread all over the world. Hugs and kisses for all and everyone – do some good today! And don’t be surprised if you were embraced by an unknown lady on a street – free hugs for everyone is quite natural today.The holiday was founded to celebrate on March 29, 1986 in Caro, Michigan, the USA, and the 21^st of January was appointed as the date of National Hugging Day. His founder, Kevin Zaborney, inspired the idea after recognizing the fact people are truly sad and in a bad mood after Christmas holidays. The holiday season is over; St. Valentine’s Day is very far away, so people are low-spirited, as a usual. Actually, the idea that you can embrace anyone – for no reason, just come to and hugging – such idea perfectly cheers up! Kevin Zaborney said that the main sense of the holiday is to help people show their emotion publicly, because most people have some problems with expression of strong feelings. The supposed holiday provides a perfect opportunity to deal with it and to offer some hugs to your family, friends and even complete strangers.

Besides, hugging has a lot of benefits. According to the statistics, every person needs at least 12 hugs a day to feel comfortable and confident. Have you ever thought – 12 hugs per day? Is it long since you have been embraced so much? Sure, it’s a huge hugging deficit for most of people. Hugging is also believed to decrease the risk of heart disease and to reduce the general stress state, as well as to reduce high-blood pressure. Don’t you think it is great – first hugging, then quite well and cheerful? Regrettably, Hugging Day is more American and European practice, and Ukrainian ladies are usually not in such a habit.

Hope you give and get LOTS of heartwarming hugs today. And Happy Hugging Day to you!
