According to World National Holidays today is National Let's Hug Day.

This may seem controversial with social distancing. Should we hug? It's not a handshake where you share germs directly but at the same time it is definitely crossing over the 2 meters and no touch zone.

Free hugs = Super Spreaders

It's really up to you but I don't think the covid time is the time to run up to strangers and give free hugs. Today free hugs would turn into a super spreader.

air hugs

If it really get's awkward we can celebrate with air hugs. Just act as if you were delivering the hug but from a safe distance. There have already been several incidences where people start with a hug and they know inside not to be spreaders and they end up with just giving a pat on the back.

Touch

Today is not the age of free hugs, but human beings have difficulty living without touch. If there is someone close to you that you can trust today, give him or her a big hug. It would be good for both of you. If not then at least hug your dog. I'm not sure if you can hug a cat. Whenever I get close to them they seem to run away.

Marky Monday's Creative Explosion

Today's song is probably one you have never heard of from Marky Monday; Mark Pezzelato creator and musician from Canada. He opens his studios to people to record for free and his productions are high quality and professional. He does a musical for kids filled with creativity. I think with a little help from our friends we can give him a big hug and welcome him to the blockchain.

touchy feely hug

Well that was nice and cute but not touchy feely enough for me. What I really need is one of those miracle of Christmas songs that touches me in deep baritone. Oh wait here's one from about twenty years ago:

The Christmas Hug

by By Janice Kapp Perry and Senator Orrin Hatch

Virtual Hug

I can't leave National Let's Hug Day just like that. We need one more song. We need the touch of Tommy from the Who's Pete Townshend. It's just one minute and 36 seconds so hang in there and give Tommy a psychedelic virtual hug.

Tommy can you hear me?
Can you feel me near you?
Tommy can you see me?
Can I help to cheer you?
Ooooh Tommy
