People love the idea of spending the day with friends all over the world. With more and more countries joining in the celebrations, Friendship Day soon became an international festival.

Between 1935 and 1997, Friendship Day didn’t have a symbol, like Santa Claus for Christmas. However, in 1997, the United Nations named Winnie the Pooh as the world’s Ambassador(大使) of Friendship.

Except the celebration activities such as exchanging cards, flowers and gifts, some people may have parties with their friends. Some may have lunch or dinner together. Others may hang out or go to the movies with friends on this special day. These are popular among all age groups from teenagers to old people.

Although Friendship Day and its celebrations may have changed over the years, the most important idea behind the festival remains the same. People enjoy the moment they spend together and express love and care for their friends.

Have people always sent postcards? No. Before postcards, people liked to send sealed (密封的) letters. The idea for the first decorated postcard appeared in 1861. Sending a simple postcard with decorations would be a great way to send a note. Then in the early days, postcards with pictures appeared. According to the law, people had to write their notes on the front—on the picture! The back was only for the address. Several years later, England allowed a divided-back postcard. Then people could write their notes on the back left side and put the address on the right, the front is for pictures. During the early 1900s, the golden age of postcards, picture postcards became popular around the world. In 1908, Americans alone sent over 677 million postcards. Today, postcards are the third most popular collection in the world after stamps and coins. And more and more people send emails to their loved ones on Internet.
