Grandparents Day is a secular holiday celebrated in the United States on the first Sunday after Labor Day. It was first celebrated in 1973 in West Virginia, and was proclaimed a national holiday by President Jimmy Carter in 1978.

The holiday was founded by Marian McQuade, a West Virginian who was inspired to create a day to honour grandparents after visiting a nursing home and seeing how many of the elderly residents did not receive visits from their families. She believed that grandparents play an important role in the lives of their grandchildren, and that they should be recognized and celebrated.

There are many ways to celebrate Grandparents Day. Some people visit their grandparents, take them out to eat, or send them cards and gifts. Others host family gatherings or potlucks. There are also many community events that celebrate Grandparents Day, such as concerts, festivals, and fairs.

Here are some ideas for how to celebrate Grandparents Day:

  • Visit your grandparents and spend time with them.

  • Take them out to eat or do something they enjoy.

  • Send them a card or letter telling them how much you love and appreciate them.

  • Make them a grandparent's day gift, such as a piece of art, a photo album, or a homemade meal.

  • Host a family gathering or potluck in their honour.

  • Volunteer at a local nursing home or senior centre.
