What is National Hugging Day?
The United States Copyright Office has officially recognized National Hug Day or National Hugging Day on January 21st, but it is not a public holiday.
The day's aim is to encourage everyone to express more emotion in public. Offering a hug to anyone and everyone you want is the only way to commemorate the day. Although National Hug Day and the Free Hugs Campaign have many similarities, there is no link between the two organizations.
The mental and physical health benefits of hugging a family member or a stranger are the same whether you hug a family member or a stranger.
