Grandparents Day is a holiday celebrated in some countries to honor and show appreciation for grandparents and the important role they play in the family. The holiday is typically observed on the first Sunday after Labor Day in the United States, while other countries may celebrate it on different dates.
The idea of a holiday to celebrate grandparents originated in the United States in the 1970s. In 1978, President Jimmy Carter signed a proclamation designating the first Sunday after Labor Day as National Grandparents Day. The holiday has since been celebrated annually in the US and has also been adopted by other countries such as Canada, the UK, and Australia.
Grandparents Day is a time for families to come together to celebrate and honor grandparents.
