Call a Friend Day
December 28 · Level 2 · #1858 of 2238
Call a Friend Day is a nudge to pick up the phone and have a real conversation instead of sending another emoji. It is the perfect moment to reach someone you have not spoken to in ages.
How it is celebrated: people ring old pals, former classmates and far-away relatives just to ask how things are going. Some switch to video, and others use the call to plan a get-together during the holiday break.
Alexander Graham Bell patented the telephone in 1876, and in March of that year he spoke the famous line, "Mr. Watson, come here, I want to see you," down the wire.
