National Grandparent’s day is celebrated on the first Sunday after Labor Day. Every year, the president makes a proclamation to declare the Sunday after Labor Day as National Grandparents Day.
History
This celebration was initiated because of the remarkable work of two people- Jacob Reingold and Marian McQuade. Reingold decided to do something to honor grandparents after attending a conference on aging in the White House. McQuade was concerned with the number of lonely and isolated grandparents in homes and decided to start a campaign for a special day for them.
National Grandparents Day was first celebrated in September 1961. President Carter’s speech gives an insight on why this day is so important:
“As we seek to strengthen the enduring values of the family, it is appropriate that we honor our grandparents.’’
A song for Grandma and Grandpa by Johnny Prill is the official song for grandparent’s day. You can celebrate this day by spending time with your grandparents and learn from their wisdom and guidance. You can also share these hilarious jokes and puns with your grandparents and put a smile on their faces.
