So this morning my wife sends me a text that says today is International Hug Day. I was curious where she got that so I Googled it. Sure enough, there is such a day. Thanks to the help of Wikipedia I was able to learn that today is in fact International Hug Day.
In 2004 Juan Mann started the Free Hugs Campaign, a social movement involving individuals who offer hugs to strangers in public places. As a part of the campaign he started the International Hug Day. The campaign caught traction in 2006 with their music video by the Sick Puppies and an appearance on Oprah.
So there you have it folks. Today is the day to freak out your coworkers and share some mutual space with others. Go spread the love. It is crazy how much love a little hug can communicate.

Offering strangers some things in public places can get you thrown in the clink. So look out!
