When is National Kiss and Make Up Day? National Kiss and Make Up Day is observed yearly on August 25th.

What is National Kiss and Make Up Day? Much like April 2nd, National Reconciliation Day, National Kiss and Make Up Day gives us a chance to address tense relationships. We’ve all had arguments with our parents, juvenile disputes with siblings, harmful miscommunication with a spouse, and conflicts with friends. Today is the day we break through that tension or address that still-open-wound. Today we get an opportunity to make up.

How to celebrate: Often times an apology is followed swiftly by a “But…” which really just unmakes the apology. If you care about this person then they are more important than you being right. They’re hurt, that’s what matters. You both lose if the relationship stays like this. A great step is to offer an apology without justifying why you hurt them. Just apologize. Then, of course, give them a smooch to keep with the full spirit of the day.

Flowers, cards, a simple hug, all go a long a way in affirming a relationship.
