For 2015, Grandparent’s Day is Sunday, September 13. Do you know how you’ll be honoring your grandparents this year? One of the best ways to show you care is by sending flowers.
The Grandparent’s Day holiday was inspired Marian McQuade. Mrs. McQuade was blessed with dozens of grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and this brought much joy to her and her husband. Inspired by her own family, Mrs. McQuade got the idea that grandparents should have their own holiday to celebrate the blessings of having grandchildren. The Grandparent’s Day holiday idea was born.
An Official U.S. Holiday
While it was celebrated unofficially for years, in 1979, President Jimmy Carter made Grandparent’s Day an official federal holiday. It is now celebrated the Sunday that follows Labor Day every year in the U.S.
