National Do Something Nice For Your Neighbor Day

National Do Something Good for Your Neighbor Day is celebrated on May 16 to express gratitude to those who are closest to us. In fact, a neighbor is not merely the person who lives closest to you but can be anyone with whom you share a kinship. Therefore, your colleagues, friends, or fellow commuters also qualify as your neighbors! When we get too caught up in our busy lives, we forget how much fun it is to hang out with our neighbors and have a good chat with them.
