Kiss a Ginger Day - January 12

Kiss a Ginger Day, created to promote a more positive spin than its predecessor, gives sweet kisses to redheads who may have been waiting for their hair color.

The red hair gene is recessive and requires two copies for it to exist. And if it does, there is no guarantee that it will happen. If both parents have the gene, there is a 1 in 4 chance they will have a redheaded child. Brown eyes appear in most natural-born redheads (yes, some of us like the bottle) followed by green or hazel. The blue-eyed ginger is the rarest variety, accounting for 1% of the world's population. Consider yourself lucky if you give one of these ginger's a kiss.

If you didn't already know it, you should request permission before kissing someone who doesn't like it – if you didn't know it

A ginger (a.k.a. a redhead) is included in a ginger (a.k.a. a redhead).
