Though there doesn’t really seem to be a clear beginning to the celebration of the National Chicken Soup For The Soul Day, this observance is a positive one that spawned from the book series. It appears the first mention of the proposed ‘day’ and it’s activities was in 2002 in a publication called, Creative Forecasting. No matter, according to the daysoftheyear.com website – “The authors have said that the day is about celebrating: ‘who you are, where you’ve been, where you’re going, and who you will be thankful to when you get there!’”
