KISS A GINGER DAY (this is my day...the ginger part...not the kissing part)
redhead and give them a peck on Kiss a Ginger Day.
Created to support a more positive spin than its counterpart, Kiss a Ginger Day brings sweet kisses to redheads who may have once been teased for their hair color.
The red hair gene is recessive and requires two copies for it to present itself. Even then, there is no guarantee it will. If both parents have the gene, there is a 1 in 4 chance they will have a redheaded child. Most natural-born redheads (yes, some of us like the bottle) have brown eyes, followed by green or hazel. Coming in at 1% of the world's population, the blue-eyed ginger is the rarest kind. So if you give one of these ginger's a kiss, consider yourself lucky.
Many redheads feel like outcasts for having red hair. This celebration empowers redheads to feel confident, look amazing, and rock their beauty. Red hair is more than a color; it’s a lifestyle. Besides, redheads are rare. Less than 2 percent of the population are crowned with red hair. And those who are may very well be left-handed, too.
HOW TO OBSERVE KISS A GINGER DAY
It's easy. Kiss a Ginger! And it goes without saying, if you don't have permission to kiss your favorite ginger, don't. And while you're at it, spread a little kindness.
KISS A GINGER DAY HISTORY
Derek Forgie founded Kiss a Ginger Day in 2009 as an alternative positive celebration of redheads' uniqueness as opposed to another day that could often accelerate into bullying.

The quality of your life comes down to the thoughts that you think on a regular basis.
My best and oldest friend is a ginger - although too far away to give her a peck on the cheek. Thanks for the information and have a great Sunday.
ReplyDeleteI grew up ginger... and was glad I matched my paternal grandmother, who was also a ginger. One of my kid sisters got the gene, too. Transcribed letters from grandma to her sweetheart in WWI lamented over her "red hair".
ReplyDeleteMy new nephew-in-law is a ginger. He's a great guy, but haven't met him in person yet. Interesting facts there.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your day! (((BIG HUGS)))
