December 11, 2025
In today’s world, we often rely on text messages and emails to stay in touch, but sometimes nothing beats hearing or seeing a loved one. December 28 is National Call a Friend Day, a perfect reminder to connect with someone you care about.
Whether it is an old friend, a college roommate, a sibling, a neighbor, or a grandchild, a simple phone or video call can brighten both your day and theirs. Ask how they have been, share a laugh, or reminisce about cherished memories. Seeing a familiar smile makes the connection even more special.
Especially for seniors, calling or video chatting with family or friends can feel personal and comforting. Let someone know you are thinking of them. The warmth of a real conversation is something a text cannot replace.
This holiday season, take a few minutes to make a call or video chat. Sometimes the smallest gesture, such as a friendly hello or a shared smile, can create the biggest moments of joy.
