Hug Holiday: Hug Holiday, is a day to celebrate the power of hugs. Hugging is a unique behavior mostly limited to primates, and it is a simple yet effective way to express affection and strengthen social bonds. Not only does hugging feel good, but it also releases oxytocin, which is known as the “cuddle hormone” and can promote feelings of trust and connection. So, take some time today to give and receive some hugs with your loved ones, and enjoy the positive benefits of this special form of physical affection.
