I think I would chose my great grandmother,me honeys has past, but was such an influence on everyone she came in contact with.mshe showed unconditional love effortlessly, she worked hard to raise her family, was kind and giving and even smoked a corn cob pipe. I know sounds crazy, but she did. Not only would I love to hug her but to hear her life stories. I can’t imagine living thru all the changes the world has seen.

I would hug my youngest brother who passed away suddenly on November 21, 2014.
I would hug my sister whom I love more than she could ever know.
My maternal grandparents, Victor and Edna Perez. They were two of the most influential people in my life who taught me so many things. I loved spending time with them and talking about my hopes and dreams. They were also my godparents and played a tremendous role in shaping my faith as well.
If I could give one person a hug again, it would be my mom! Just one more hug! I miss her so much and not a day goes by that I don’t think of her!
Right now, it would be my brother-in-law, who lost his father just a week ago.

My grandma. She passed away last year and the holidays aren’t the same without her.
If I could…I would give anything to hug my son in heaven. He was only 38 years old when he left us & not a day goes by that I Don’t wish I could give him a big hug & kiss & tell him how much I love him.
I am so terribly sorry for your loss. I send you a big hug and offer up a prayer.
I would hug my mother, who lives several hundred miles away.
My grandmother.
My mom and dad, and my best friend, Sally.
There are a few people now gone from my life that I wish I could hug one more time but if you’re talking people still alive, I would have to say my grandson. Good thing is, I see him a couple times a week and I hug him often – whether he wants a hug or not!! (He’s 1).
It would be be son — I am so proud of him being in the Navy and I miss him a lot!
I haven’t gotten to see one of my uncles for 10 years. It would be great to give him a hug!

My husband Stuart who passed away almost 3 years ago now…..
I’d love to give a hug to my mom, who passed away in 1997. Reading these comments made me realize that I give a virtual hugs everytime I send someone a handmade card! I must send them out more often than just Christmas and Birthdays!
My mom because today’s my 36th birthday and I wouldn’t be here without her.
My BFF she is going through some tough times with her health and I know she needs one. The problem is that she is 400 miles away so I have to send her an electronic HUG for now!
My sister. She is having a a hard time with life right now!
My mom. She needs it!
My mom was my first instinct but there are people out there that have never been hugged. So I would like to share hugs with them. Everyone should feel the warmth of another arms around you. Merry Christmas!
My sweet grandmothers. I miss them both 🙁
My mom. She lives on the other side of the world and I don’t get to see her as often as I’d like to.
My dad
I’d give a hug to my sister– I know she could use it. A card is nice, but not the same. 🙂
I would want to hug Steve Martin. He has made me laugh since the 70’s and I think he is so talented. I think it would be fun to meet him.
Our old neighbor who now lives in Hawaii
My mom
My son, it is so hard him being so far away, especially when he broke up with his girlfriend recently and it is so hard hearing the pain in his voice because he wants my grandson to have a family there…(I know, I raised him by myself, finally met my current husband when he was 15 and always felt so guilty)..
I love this idea of giving hugs today! Polly, just turned 98 and she sent me a card sharing her happiness. Hugs to you Polly
If I could hug “anyone”, it would be my dad. He died so young, 57, and I miss him every day!

My grandmother. I spent a lot of time cleaning out her house (to get it ready to sell) this year and it made me realize how much I miss her.
My friend who just lost her father…in the sadness that surrounds her, receiving a handmade card using some of the release products may help lift her spirits.
I would hug my Mother-In-Law who pasted away this August!! She has BEEN GREATLY MISSED and she ALWAYS made the Holidays so SPECIAL!! This will be a HARD on to get through without her!! Also my Grandpa Harry who has been gone for 16 years!! I think about him ALL of the time and I SO WISH he could have met my Husband and my boys!! They would have LOVED him as much as I do!!

My mom. Being a military family it can be tough not being near family especially around the holidays.
Hubby and I are on the honeymoon we never had. 13+ years and we’ve never both been away from the kids at the same time. If I could give anyone a hug, it’d be them right now.
Oh, my Daddy for sure!
I miss him so much!!!
My grandmother (on my mother’s side) – didn’t get to see her much when I grew up as she was so far away but she was always the grandparent I was closest to.
I would hug my daughter because she is such a loving girl! she loves to get hugs.
I am very fortunate that I have my daughter and grand kids with me every day to give hugs to.
I would, at times, like to give my boss and his wife a hug for everything they do but that would be an uncomfortable situation. 🙂
I so wish I could hug my dad, I miss him so much! But I’m ever so grateful that I get to hug my husband and children every day. Thanks for helping me to remember that. Beautiful release this month as always!
I would say mostly my grandkids that live in different states and don’t get to see often enough.
I would give my dad a hug. He’s been gone nearly 9 years, and I miss him.

That one is easy, I would hug my hubby who is working in North Carolina–a 13 hour drive away from me. I miss him like crazy! xoxo
My Dad! He was a wonderful person. Would turn 95 January 8, 2015 if he was still with us.
Oh definitely my Three grandchildren….we won’t see them until April and I am missing them too much……
I’ve got most of my family nearby and can give them hugs anytime I want. So when I saw the question my first thought was that I wanted to give a hug to a person who needed it the most. I would say to a mom who has just lost her child, whether the child was unborn or 70. I can’t imagine the heartache that would bring a parent.
I would hug my mom who passed away 6 months ago miss her dearly
My mom, who suffers from Alzheimer’s and doesn’t know I’m her daughter, but her hugs haven’t changed.
My sister’s whole family, who moved out of state a few months ago.
My daughter who I have not seen for 10 crazy long years! I miss her like crazy – even though I hug her in my heart every day of my life!!
My granddaughter… Becuz you cannot give grandchildren too many. I live in CA while she is in MN. Its along really long reach!
I would give anything to give one more hug to my dad! I miss him. I guess that I would have to include my mom as well. I can still hug her but she has no idea who I am. I would love to have her recognize me again for one last hug!
My mom. Even though she has been gone for a long time, I miss her hugs, smiles, and love!!
My mom who passed away 2 1/2 years ago.
Both of my parents … gone but definitely NOT forgotten. Dec. 11th would’ve been their 77th wedding anniversary. If it weren’t for their union, I would not be enjoying the life I live today. And, I’d give my mom an extra hug for being artistic and creative and giving me the love of crafts.
my Uncle Dave who was just diagnosed with lung cancer.
My sister, because I won’t see her for almost another year.
My sister Patti. She lives on the other side of the country and I haven’t seen her in a couple of years. Maybe it’s time for me to fly to Napa.
I would do a world wide hug…everyone just hug who ever they see doesn’t matter who they are, just HUG everyone. Sometimes just a hug is the only thing needed to brightens someone’s day. The world needs love and hugs. Too many bad things on the news. I am a hugger anyway , and I love to HUG !!
I would give a hug to President Obama to say “thank you”, because he doesn’t get enough credit for his hard work and all the good things he’s done so far for the greater good.
My dad!!! He fell a couple of weeks ago and broke his hip. His Parkinson’s is making his surgical recovery really tough for him. I hate being so far away from him.
My Grandpa!!!
Of course it would be 2 of my most favorite ladies, my almost 85 year old Mother and my beautiful Daughter! I am a very lucky Daughter and I am a very lucky Mother! Merry Merry!
Any member of the military who won’t be home for Christmas this year. I wish I could hug them all.

My sister, who lives near Los Angeles.
My grandmother. She passed away almost 8 years ago and I miss her.
I would give the world a hug and ask everyone to do the same. Hugs can help in more situations than you think. Some don’t have family near or none at all, some just need to know that someone cares. Everyone needs to send a hug card to everyone they can, and tell them they are loved. The way things are going in this world of horrible things happening, we definitely need to give hugs to anyone we can and tell them they are loved!!
My Dad – he died unexpectedly a few weeks ago. I wish I could give him one last hug. I miss him.
My sister! She lives too far away. 🙁
My Dad who passed away at the young age of 58 28 years ago.

If I could I would hug my brother who died 45 years ago but since I can’t I would hug my parents who I’m lucky to still have in my life but who don’t get to see as often as any of us would like.
I simply love the hugs from my wonderful, supportive husband! The feeling of his strong arms around me transmits love and safety like no other hug since those of my dad when I was a child.
I would hug my Dad. I miss him and think of him everyday. Especially at Christmas time which was his favorite time of the year. Love you, Daddy!
I would hug my brothers and sisters that I don’t get to see everyday.
I’d love to give our cousin a BIG hug–she lost her husband in July and is not looking forward to the holidays.
I would give the world a HUG!! Everything that is going on in our world today is very depressing. We all need to stop and Hug everyone we can and let them know they are loved. We need to send hug cards to everyone we know. I lost my Dad last year, and he was a BIG hugger. I miss his hugs. And you never know when you will see someone for the last time. So live your life like there is no tomorrow…HUG…HUG…HUG !!!
My Grandchildren in Idaho and Tennessee. I will have to wait to hug my parents, whom I still miss a great deal. I’ve never stopped missing them. It’s true, love lasts forever.

Could it be a group hug?? I would have to say all four of my grandparents. The last one passed away over 20 years ago but to this day I still miss them all tremendously. They were a big part of my life growing up as a child and I have many fond memories (and some special keepsakes too) that I hold close to my heart.
I would hug my Dad. He has been in heaven almost four years now and for some reason this Christmas season has been one of my worst in missing him.

My husband. He left the house this morning late for work, had to drop off our son to school on the way, it’s pouring down rain, traffic, he forgot his wallet and walked in late to a meeting. He needs a hug.
I would love to hug my wonderful mother in law who died three months before my daughter – her much anticipated first grandchild – was born. It would be great to share with her all about my DD, and let her know that, although we all still miss her a lot, we’re all doing well. I’d also like her to answer a few questions about heaven!
Thanks for the opportunity!
This is the easiest question. Not withstanding my husband and daughter it would be my mom & dad They have been together so long they count as one!

If I could give anyone a hug today, it would be my son. We don’t see each other very often

If I could hug one person it would be my dad. He passed away from pancreatic cancer in 2010, right before I graduated from nursing school. I miss him every day. This time of year is hard also b/c his birthday would have been on 12/24.

I’d give a hug to my daughter. I don’t mean to play favorites with my kids, but she was always a better snuggler than my son!
