National Compliment Day
Celebrating a holiday has never been easier or more affordable. Don't be stingy: Compliment someone today, and you'll both feel better for it. Debby Hoffman and Kathy Chamberlin started the holiday and remind you "compliments provide a quick and easy way to connect positively with those you come in contact with."
January 24 is National Compliment Day.
National Compliment Day was started in 1998 by Kathy Chamberlin of Hopkinton, New Hampshire and Debby Hoffman of Concord, New Hampshire. The women started National Compliment Day to remind people that "compliments provide a quick and easy way to connect positively with those you come in contact with."
Today is National Compliment Day, a day to show your appreciation for those around you.
So why bother, you might ask. No one ever pays me a compliment.
Well, that's exactly the point.
If you're on the receiving end, compliments mean a great deal. Even more, though, it should make us good by making others feel better about themselves.
