April 10, 2022 - National Farm Animals Day | National Siblings Day

Welcome to April 10, 2022 on the National Day Calendar. Today we celebrate the animals that help us every day and our family frenemies. Today we celebrate sounders, broods, trips, and herds. In case you don’t have a dictionary handy, those are the group names of pigs, chickens, goats, and cows. Farm animals. These domesticated critters have helped to feed humans for thousands of years and are still integral to this day. Without them, we wouldn’t have milk, eggs, or most of the food staples we rely on everyday. At least on small farms, the livestock are as important as the crops. On National Farm Animals Day, celebrate your own gratitude for the farm to table critters that we couldn’t do without. Today we celebrate our best friends, who are at times our worst enemies. No matter how you remember your childhood, there are no greater allies in life than your siblings. Claudia Evart created Siblings Day in 1995 and it has been a top trending day ever since. Having lost a brother and a sister in her youth, the native New Yorker realized the important role that siblings play in our lives. In other parts of the world such as India, Spain and France there are celebrations for brothers and sisters that honor this special bond. Here in the United States, more than 80 percent of us have siblings and this day is about giving them an extra special shout out with presents, hugs or by posting childhood photos on social media. On National Siblings Day, share your favorite memories with those you love, even if they still make you crazy. I’m Anna Devere and I’m Marlo Anderson. Thanks for joining us as we Celebrate Every Day.
