Let’s Hug Day

So go hug your family, friends, pets, etc.

This embracing holiday is held annually on December 3. I am not sure who or when this day first started.

Benefits of Hugging ….

• reduces anxiety / stress
• improves mood
• increases memory
• increases bonding / closeness

Here are some other Hug Related Holidays …

• Hug Your Sweetheart Day
• Hug An Atheist Day
• Hug Your Cat Day
• National Hugging Day

Of course with 2020, social distancing, hugging may not be an option, but maybe do a virtual or long-distance hug.
