Visit Your Relatives Day - May 18

The day of visiting relatives is a special day of the year, it is not clear what its origin is and who invented it, but it is related to other family days such as grandparents' day, mother's day and so on.

As the name implies, this day is meant to encourage visits to family members, especially those who do not have many opportunities to see them.

Visiting family members is something that is often neglected and not done because of a busy schedule, even though most people would like to see their relatives more.

It is best to celebrate the day of the visit of relatives by visiting them, face to face, but if it does not come out, one can also make a virtual visit and celebrate by sending greeting cards and letters to distant family members, calling or chatting online.

There are many sites that offer free electronic greeting cards that can be sent to relatives in honor of this family day.

Single Parent's Day- March 21

Single Parents' Day falls on March 21 in the United States to empower, respect and cherish the single mothers and fathers who raise children alone and to appreciate the hard work, dedication and sacrifice involved in single parenting. When a parent is single, all responsibility is placed on him or her without sharing the burden with anyone else. Whether it is by choice or out of necessity, single parents carry a heavy burden on their shoulders. They need to maneuver between work, school, medical care and household management without sharing roles with anyone else.

A single parent is defined as a man or woman who is raising one or more children alone. Single parenting is usually the result of changes in the two-parent model: separation, divorce, widowhood, and a being single.

Many single parents have family support. Many are assisted by grandparents, siblings and other extended family members. Fortunately, today there are also support groups for single parents on social media where you can get advice and help.

Single parents sometimes have relief and help from the state.

The history of Single Parents' Day

In 1984, Janice Muglan of the United States wrote a position paper in which she expressed the wish that just as Mother's Day and Father's Day should be recognized, the single parent's day should be recognized. The single parent day was announced by President Ronald Reagan on March 21, 1984.

How to celebrate single parents' day?

Although single parents' day is a day declared in the US and celebrated there, we all actually know a family member, friend, neighbor or co-worker who is a single parent. Today is the day to support and appreciate them. Make this day a special day for single parents you know. Use the hashtag #NationalSingleParentDay to post on social media to express and support them.

March 21 is also International Fragrance Day,  Down Syndrom Day and Nowruz

Valentine's day- 14th February

Valentine's Day, also called Saint Valentine's Day or the Feast of Saint Valentine, is celebrated annually on February 14. It originated as a Western Christian feast day honoring one or two early Christian martyrs named Saint Valentine and is recognized as a significant cultural, religious, and commercial celebration of romance and love in many regions of the world.

No matter if we have to celebrate this day or not, on February 14th we are flooded with advertisements wherever possible, reminding us that it is best not to forget to buy gifts, flowers and chocolates, for our spouses, if we do not want to sleep in the living room tonight.

The source of Valentine's day

There are several versions of the origin of this holiday, but the most common version is the one that tells of the days of Emperor Claudius II, in 270 AD. The cruel Claudius forbade his men to marry during the war because he believed they were strong and able to fight better when they were single.

 Bishop Valentine rallied against him and secretly married couples in love. He was apprehended and imprisoned and on February 14 executed. Before he died he wrote a letter from prison to his daughter and signed with the words "Yours, Valentine." Valentine has since become a symbol of lovers and the day of his execution for Valentine's Day.

In the Middle Ages the girls would celebrate Valentine’s Day by eating strange foods because that is how they believed they would dream at night about their future husband. There was also a tradition of passing a bowl with notes of names between the men and women and they would pull out a note and find out who would be their favorite. After the lottery, the name of the favorite would be embroidered on the sleeve.

  But what is love? here are some beautiful quotes for Valentine's day

A little girl asks her older brother: what us love? The brother answers: love is when I know that every day you steal chocolate from my bag, but I keep putting it in the same place...

Love is when you can't experience anything without wishing the other person were there to see it, too.

Love means accept him with all the failures, stupid and ugly  things and yet to see 

perfection in his imperfection.

Electronic Greetings Day - November 29

Electronic Greetings Day is held every year, on November 29th.

This day encourages us to send an electronic greeting, and at the same time, reminds us how many things have changed.

The convenience and speed of electronic greeting delivery allows us more than ever to participate in this thoughtful process. We all enjoy it when someone remembers our birthdays, anniversaries and other important life events and enjoys receiving greeting cards. It is fun to get greeting cards, but to save the trees and the earth, when using electronic greeting cards it is much more economical but also equally significant.

Since the advent of electronic greeting, social media and other messaging systems have been expanding our communication methods. We can send a birthday greeting through the social network or in a messaging system. If a friend is sick, we show that we care simply by pressing a button and sending funny videos. When we miss someone, nowadays we are never very far away. We can send them a video message. The technology of electronic pools is constantly evolving.

The e-greeting came not long after the advent of e-mail in 1993. American computer scientist Judith Donat founded the first e-greeting card site in 1994 at MIT Media Lab. It was called The Electric Postcard and operated from 1994 to 1996.

Father's Day- the third Sunday of June

Father's Day is celebrated in the United States on Sunday, the third week of June.

Father's Day is a celebration in honor of fathers and a day of expression of appreciation and love for the fathers in the society.

A father is the biological or sociological parent of a child. Father-child relations are the determining factor for the father's role.

Like mothers, human fathers can also be classified according to their biological, social, or legal relationships with their children. Historically, it was the biological relationship that defined paternity. But proof of paternity was problematic and often social conventions defined the paternity of a man, that is, the husband of the child's mother. This method of defining fatherhood dominated western society from the days of ancient Rome and was expressed in the well-known Latin saying: "There is always certainty in the mother, the father is the one whom marriage points to." (In Latin: Mater semper certa; pater est quem nuptiae demonstrant).
