It&#8217;s a day to celebrate the significance of true, non-romantic relationships. Friendships are vital, and thanks to social media, we can continue celebrating with friends no matter where they are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_History_of_National_Friendship_Day\"><\/span>The History of National Friendship Day<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Humans and Social Needs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We, humans, are naturally social beings, as seen in Abraham Maslow&#8217;s Hierarchy of Human Needs. Our need for connection drives us to form meaningful relationships. This need led to the creation of a whole holiday centered on the importance of friendship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hallmark&#8217;s Idea<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Originally, National Friendship Day was a marketing strategy by Hallmark Cards in the 1930s. Joyce Hall, the founder, chose August 2 as a day to celebrate close people by sending them cards. In 1935, the U.S. Congress made the first Sunday of August the official National Friendship Day. The celebration gained more recognition globally, and in 1998, Winnie the Pooh became the world&#8217;s Ambassador of Friend-ship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-16018d1d wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.oliveboard.in\/blog\/daily-current-affairs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Click Here to Read Daily Current Affairs 2024<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_is_National_Friendship_Day_2024\"><\/span>When is National Friendship Day 2024?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Friends: Our Chosen Family<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year, National Friendship Day falls on August 4.
