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.
