Let’s Hug Day 2023: Date, History and 5 Interesting Facts

Let’s Hug Day 2023: In honor of the safety and warmth of a hug, December 3 is Let’s Hug Day. Hugs can be used in many ways. A lot of us hug to show our happiness to our friends and family. On the other hand, hugs are always welcome when we’re sad and need someone to hold us and comfort us. When you want to make up with someone after a fight, a hug is the best way to do it. Scientists have found that hugs make your body release good hormones that can lower your stress and blood pressure.

How Let’s Hug Day Came To Be

Let’s Hug Day doesn’t have a clear history, but some people think Kevin Zaborney came up with the idea for the day. The fact that Zaborney called the day “National Hugging Day,” which is on January 31, makes this even less clear. The well-known Chase’s Calendar of Events lists Zaborney’s holiday along with many other unique holidays. It was the idea behind National Hugging Day (and we think it was the same for Let’s Hug Day) to get people to hug each other more. Hugging makes people feel better because it lets them feel someone’s earnestness and warmth. As Zaborney said, you should first ask people if it’s okay to hug them because no one likes unwanted love, even if it’s a hug.

A word that means “to comfort” in Old Norse is thought to be the source of the word “hug.” Some researchers think the word might have come from the German word “hegen,” which means “to cherish” or “to foster.” ‘Hug’ is said to have been used in English sometime in the 1600s. The word’s history and origin may be different, but the feeling behind it has stayed pretty much the same since the act began. Little babies, who don’t know anything about the world, look to their moms and dads for love and safety. It’s been shown that babies and parents don’t get along well if they don’t get to cuddle and hug their kids often. So, giving and receiving hugs every day is an important part of keeping ties strong. On top of that, hugs produce oxytocin, a happy hormone that lowers cortisol, the stress hormone. Hugs can also help keep your blood pressure, heart rate, sadness, anxiety, and anger in check.
