National Hugging Day
 |
I have affections for sure, but typically with hold them from others in my midst.
This sometimes gets a little awkward in the presence of female family members whom I don't wish to appear to be rejecting ... because I certainly am not doing so.
So today we find ourselves immersed in National Hugging Day. It's a day devoted to squeezing someone in tightly in your arms as an expression of affection.
It's one of those latter day observances having been created by one Kevin Zaborney being first celebrated in Clio, Michigan on January 21, 1986.
The day was chosen for it's placement between the Christmas/New Years holidays and Saint Valentine's Day.
