NATIONAL AUNT AND UNCLE'S DAY

National Aunt and Uncle's Day on July 26 honors a special set of relatives we look up to throughout our lives. During holidays, family events, and sometimes sleepovers, aunts and uncles often hold an extraordinary place in our hearts. They fill our lives with fun, laughter, love, and incredible memories.

#AuntAndUnclesDay

National Aunt and Uncle's Day provides an opportunity to spend time with our parents' siblings. You know, those people we trusted and leaned on growing up. Today's National Day is an excellent time to get out the old photo albums to look through the pictures, and relive the memories of earlier days with your family.

Any time you can spend with your family is something to be treasured. Aunts and uncles hold many memories of growing up with our parents and our grandparents. Each time they share a story, they are sharing a part of life you may not have known about. Enjoy having them in your life and celebrate the lessons they’ve taught you. Those memories with be carried through the next generation through you.
