NATIONAL COUSINS DAY | July 24
NATIONAL COUSINS DAY
National Cousins Day on July 24 recognizes the lifelong relationships that grow among cousins. Our first friendships often form with cousins as young as infants and endure a lifetime. The day celebrates every age of cousins - new baby cousins and cousins whose babies are all grown up!
#NationalCousinsDay
Whether cousins grow up together in close-knit families or only see each other occasionally, they share common memories through grandparents, aunts, and uncles. At family gatherings, cousins entertain each other and get into trouble together, too. They celebrate birthdays and might even blow out the other's candles to their cousin's annoyance. When their siblings irritate them, cousins become an ally. Sometimes cousins seem more like siblings, especially if they're only children.
As cousins grow up, watching their children grow reminds them of their youth. And that's when the cycle begins anew.
HOW TO OBSERVE NATIONAL COUSINS DAY
Gather up your cousins and take a photo. Send a text to your cousins who are too far away. If you need to hear their voices, give them a call. Reminisce over the good times. Be sure to laugh about those things that didn't seem so funny at the time. Post photos on social media using #NationalCousinsDay.
