Grandparents’ Day: September 7
On Grandparents’ Day, grandchildren show their appreciation for their grandparents by spending quality time with them and by sending cards, flowers, and gifts.
Grandparents’ Day has three purposes: to honor grandparents; to give grandparents the opportunity to show their love for their grandchildren; and to help children realize the insight and guidance older people can offer. Every grandchild may be involved in the celebrations, as it’s a day for discovering family roots and for learning patience and understanding.
Originally observed by the state of West Virginia, Grandparents’ Day was declared a national holiday by U.S. congress in 1978. To signify the “autumn years” of life, September was chosen for the holiday. Today millions throughout the United States observe this event.
