Friendship Day is a great day for celebrating friendship. It falls on the first Sunday of August every year. Celebrating the festival was firstly started by the US in 1935. But now this doesn't only take place in the US. People in other countries are interested in it, too.
The idea of spending the day with friends was spread all over the world. With more
and more countries joining in the celebrations, Friendship Day soon became an
international festival.
Between 1935 and 1997, Friendship Day didn't have a symbol, like Santa Claus
for Christmas. However, in 1997, the United Nations named Winnie the Pooh as the
world's ambassador（大使） of friendship.
The traditional celebrations include activities such as meeting with friends and exchanging（交换） cards, flowers and gifts. Some people may have parties with their friends. Some may have lunch or dinner together. Others may hang out or go to the movies with friends on this special day. These are popular among all age groups from teenagers to old people.
Although Friendship Day and its celebrations may have changed over the years, the basic idea behind the festival remains（保持） the same. People enjoy the moment they spend together and express love and care for their friends.
