You’re Welcomegiving Day

About You’re Welcomegiving Day

Ann Arbor resident Richard Ankli created You're Welcomegiving Day in 1977.

“It seemed that it's kind of a holiday, but it never had any name to it,” said, Mr. Ankli, a retired nurse at the University of Michigan's University Hospital.

So, on this day, we’re supposed to remember to say “You’re welcome” after someone thanks you. But how do you actually celebrate this?

Are you supposed to just walk up to someone and go: “Remember that favor I did for you? You’re welcome, by the way.”
