Having a friend or friends are very special and we need to appreciate it.  In order to have a friend, you need to be a good friend.

This is a day on which you can thank your friend/s for what they do for you and show them that you love them and are glad they are part of your life.

The United Nations has decided that this day will be celebrated on the 30th of July but not all countries do it on this day.  In America it is celebrated on the first Sunday of August.  It is not an official holiday, so many people do not even know about this day.

If you really appreciate your friends, you do not need to be reminded to celebrate and love them.

You can decide how you would like to celebrate this day.  Anything from getting together with your friends to giving them a card or a present.  This is also a good day where you can catch up with old friends.

Who does not love Winnie the Pooh?  He was named as the official 'Ambassador' or 'mascot' for friendship in 1997 by the United Nations.

People also celebrate friendship in the 'friendship month' of February and there are even days to celebrate old and new friendships.

Celebrate your friends whenever you want to, because having friends are a blessing.
