I wish the friends who r coming in ur life should be faith-full, Help-full, understandable, ........ Friends do u know what is its history, Why we r celebrating this.... Have any Idea..... Friendship day history............ Friendship Day was originally promoted by Joyce Hall, the founder of Hallmark cards in 1930, intended to be 2 August and a day when people celebrated their friendships by sending cards. The second of August was chosen as the centre of the largest lull between holiday celebrations. Friendship Day was promoted by the greeting card National Association during the 1920′s but met with consumer resistance – given that it was her too obviously a commercial gimmick to promote greetings cards. By the 1940′s the number of Friendship Day cards available in the US had dwindled and the holiday largely died out there. There is no evidence to date for its uptake in Europe; however, it has been kept alive and revitalized in Asia, where several countries have adopted it. Why we Celebrate this......... According to the Friendship Day declaration, we are invited to “observe this day in an appropriate manner, in accordance with the culture and other appropriate circumstances or customs of their local, national and regional communities, including through education and public awareness-raising activities”.
