National Siblings Day is a holiday recognizing the special and unique relationship that brothers and sisters share for each other. National Siblings Day is celebrated on April 10 and is recognized in the United States and Canada. Europe has a similar Brothers and Sisters Day celebrated on May 31.

National Siblings Day helps raise awareness of the distinctive obstacles of siblings and also the great things of having a sibling. People celebrate National Siblings Day by spending time with each other and reminiscing about the memories they shared. Pierce Geddes states, “I wish I was an only child, but they are still my brothers and sisters so I can’t leave them in a ditch all alone.” Noad Davies says that his brother is “annoying, sometimes, but is a friend for life therefore he will always be my brother.” 

National Siblings Day is recognized internationally, even though the holiday is not a federal holiday.National Siblings Day was created on April 10, 1995 by Claudia Evart. Claudia chose April 10 because that was the birthday of her sister that had died at a young age. 

In the end, your brothers or sisters will always be there for you. Even though siblings can be annoying or bothersome, you are stuck with them for a long time so make the best of it.
