Neighbour Day

Neighbour Day is an American holiday dedicated to neighbors. Unless we live alone in a cabin by the sea or on the edge of the forest, we are surrounded by other people. In high-rise buildings, neighbors live right behind the wall; in private homes, they are in the neighboring yard. Establishing a warm relationship with your neighbors is important because you can always turn to them for help—they are always there for you! The holiday is celebrated annually on the last Sunday of March.
