So I was thinking about Thanksgiving, which is upcoming in the USA, so why not have a poll about thanking and showing appreciation toward your parents? Maybe this poll will get you thinking about your parents and what they've done for you. (I hope they raised you well). Even if you're a grown man, your parents will still remember when you were a child, so there's no shame in hugging them.
You can discuss this poll on our forum here:

Previous Poll Results:
Question: Christmas Shopping
Choices:
Finished. I get that stuff done early - votes: 200 (1.7%)
I've started already - votes: 960 (8%)
Isn't it too early? Halfway through November... - votes: 4819 (40.2%)
I leave everything to the last minute - votes: 2170 (18.1%)
I don't buy Christmas presents - votes: 3846 (32.1%)
There were 11995 total votes.
The poll ended: November 20th 2010
Well, it was slightly early to have this poll, but Black Friday and Cyber Monday are right around the corner! Cheap prices for great gifts! Still though, I'm saddened by the number of people who don't give any gifts at all (well, perhaps you don't celebrate Christmas, but you could still give gifts to show some appreciation~)

Why would I show appreciation to my mother? Just because she's my mother? My mother is horrible. Not everyone has good parents you know.
Within the last year, probably within the last few months. I don't remember when I last saw her. As for my father, longer than any of the above, my parents are divorced.

I feel sad for those who don't have caring parents...

i came from a place where parents never hugs their children when they are past toddlers. there is not even just a simple touching between family members as well as strangers. we see caring parents in our tv shows but never in real life.

My parents are definitely loving and caring, but we're not demonstrative in a western way (i.e. kissing, hugging, saying 'I love you' etc.). I sometimes get a birthday kiss on the cheek from my mother, and my father pinches my face now and then, but that's about it. Not a very touchy feely person, so I'm fine with the way things are!

Yeah, there's ton of culture differences but I think too much or too little of anything is never a good thing. My Dad expects a hug at least once every other day when he comes home from work, Mum asks me to give her a hug almost every day too. They're good parents I guess yet sometimes they really I mean really tick me off.
I've never heard of Cyber Monday. o.o
Sounds like
an event where a plethera of internet sexual predators prey on young girls (guys....!?) over the internetz.

Hugging is not something my family usually do. Well, actually in my country overall. But it doesn't mean I don't love my parents. I love my parents so much, and we have good relationship.
We do have custom kissing the back of the hand of people older than us (including parents). And I do that every time I left the house. It's like asking their blessing for safe trip or a woderful day, nice day at work/school, etc.

In my country we buy presents for New Year.
Sometimes I really want to hug my parents, but they are too far....

You made me sad, too.
I hug my dad when he comes back from travelling. With mom, I hug, glomp and hold her hands more than once every day. She died two years ago...
