Respect for the Aged Day is a day to celebrate long life and repect elderly people. Originally the day was September 15th, but in 2003, it was decided to be changed to the third monday of September. It was started in 1947 in Japan, which is the only country that celebrates Respect for the Aged Day. The reason that the happy monday system was introduced in 2003 is it makes the weekend longer.
On this holiday many people visit their grandparents, and some give gifts to them.
