Neighbor Day

Neighbor Day is an unofficial holiday created to bring people closer. People living behind a wall or fence can offer or receive support and help. It’s good to live in peace and harmony with one’s neighbors.

History

It is not known who established Neighbor Day. In the past, people had friendlier relationships with their neighbors. They would even entrust them with keys to their homes or garages. However, over time, relations became colder, fences became higher, and doors and walls stronger. Many people living nearby don’t even know each other. This holiday is a wonderful opportunity to get to know your neighbors or reconcile after long-standing disagreements.

People who maintain good relations with their neighbors argue that events like this shouldn’t be held just once a year. You can use any free day to have fun and interact with your neighbors. Perhaps they don’t need entertainment, but help and support. You can offer this any day.

How to Take Part

You can organize a great get-together: barbecue steaks or kebabs, host a dinner, throw a friendly party, or go fishing together. It all depends on your capabilities, imagination, and desires. Here are some tips to build good relationships with your neighbors:

• don’t impose on them;
• avoid encouraging conflict;
• congratulate them on holidays;
• be friendly;
• don’t litter in common areas;
• respect their privacy.
