Kiss and Make Up Day: Top Tips to Say You're Sorry
For some folks, saying “I’m sorry” are two of the most difficult words to say outloud. Whether you have had a little spat, difference of opinion or down-and-out argument, one day a year is dedicated to apologies. While the origins of this holiday are unknown, Kiss and Make Up Day is an annual holiday observed on Aug. 25.

If the silent treatment in your home or office is just plain deafening, why not take the high road and be the first to apologize? Now is as good a time as any to let bygones be bygones and bury those hatchets once and for all!
