It's only been around since 1979, but ask any grandpa or grandma and he or she will lecture you otherwise. Grandparents Day, which is officially celebrated on the first Sunday after Labor Day, is any day with the grandkids!

This year, the "official" day falls on September 12.

For many kids every day really is Grandparents Day, as they now are living with their grandparents. In fact, 6.4 million grandparents nationwide have grandchildren under 18 living with them, according to the Census Bureau.

For them, the big day is about more than just a keep-in-touch phone call or fun outing. It is fitting, however, that there's an official flower for Grandparents Day: the Forget-me-not!
