Situated in that lull between Christmas and New Year’s, National Call a Friend Day is meant to be a time between these two big days to make sure that friends stay connected. This is especially important for friends who don’t necessarily live near each other.
In today’s world of technology, even though in some ways it has the possibility to bring people together, people can feel more isolated than ever. Because social media only portrays the surface, it’s important to be sure that actual personal contact and connections are made through conversation.
Considering the fact that the holiday season is a time when many people struggle with depression and even suicidal ideations, it’s very important to try to stay connected. And voice-based communication is an important way that helps people feel seen and heard.
National Call a Friend Day is the time to reach out to friends with a phone call and connect with them. Let them know they are thought of and cared for, and catch up with what is going on in each others’ lives.
So get comfy, grab a coffee (or whatever you fancy) and settle in for a catch up. Don’t limit yourself to just one friend if you are lucky enough to have more than one! If you don’t get an answer, send a quick video or voice note.
