Today, January 21, 2016 is National Hug Day. Yes, this is further proof that there is a day for everything.

According to www.checkiday.com it is also:

  • Get to Know Your Customer Day
  • National Granola Bar Day
  • National New England Clam Chowder Day
  • One-Liners Day
  • Own Your Own Home Day
  • Squirrel Appreciation Day

To be honest, I can't say that I have heard of any of these "days." So I was even more surprised when I found out that there is a certain amount of time you are supposed to hug people. Yes, "experts" say, that you should not rush your hugs, and that the most positive benefits (for both the hugger and the hug-e) are reached at the 2- second mark.
