Lost And Found Day is celebrated on the second Friday of every December. This year, it will be celebrated on December 8. In the life we have lived, there might be so many situations, or at least a few times, we would have lost so many things. And at times, we would have found them. The day is celebrated to encourage you to make some efforts to find the things that you have lost. The observance of this Day also spurs you to return those things you found to those people who had lost them.
“Everything. Things you lost. Things you’re gonna lose. Everything. Here’s where it all ties together.” – Haruki Murakami
History of Lost And Found Day
The official announcement of the Lost And Found Day was on November 19th, 2012. The second Friday of every December marks this observance Day. The original concept of this event dates back to 1805. It was in that year that Napoleon Bonaparte opened the first Lost and Found office in Paris. The Day is celebrated with the idea of having a place where people could come to recover the things they have lost. It is also a Day for renewed hope and belief that the things lost should never be forgotten or abandoned. One should take the time and effort to search for those items after it has been lost. On this day, anyone can make an effort to find out the stuff lost.
