National Hug Day!

     
From Wikipedia:
"National Hug Day or National Hugging Day is an annual unofficial event devised by Rev. Kevin Zaborney now residing in Caro, Michigan USA. It occurs on January 21 but is not a public holiday. The day was launched on January 21, 1986 in Clio, Michigan, USA. There are reports of it being marked in some other countries. The idea of National Hug Day is to encourage everyone to hug family and friends more often. Zaborney cautions to ask first if one is unsure of the response. Whether you hug a family member or a friend or a stranger, the mental and physical health benefits are the same."
     

In Bearville, on National Hug Day in 2009, Pawlette Coufur introduced the Love. Hugs. Peace. movement, in which citizens could make a pledge for love, hugs, or peace at the BNN to make the world a better place. In 2013, Bearemy gave out one of the love shirts from that movement (why not hugs?!) on that day. I myself missed the giveaway because it wasn't advertised in the Bearville Times (-_-) and I had to trade for the shirt...

So, happy National Hug Day and be sure to hug someone, whether it's IRL or in Bearville!
