Happy Singles' Day 2022: Singles' Day is celebrated on November 11. Originating from China, it is a mockery of traditional couple-centric festivals and people who are in a relationship. If you and your friends are marking the day, here are some wishes, messages, quotes and images to share with them.

Singles' Day, originally known as Bachelors' Day, is celebrated annually on November 11 in China. It marks the Chinese unofficial holiday and shopping season celebrating people who are not in a relationship. Singles' Day mocks people who are in a relationship and couple-centric festivals. The date, November 11, was chosen for the occasion because the number 1 resembles a bare stick, a Chinese Internet slang for an unmarried man who does not add 'branches' to the family tree.

The most widely accepted Singles' Day origin says that the holiday grew out of Nanjing University's dorm culture. Four single men discussed how they could break away from the monotony of being single and agreed that November 11 would be a day of events and celebrations in honour of being single. However, in recent years, the festival has become a shopping extravaganza in popular culture, even bigger than the Black Friday sale and Amazon's Prime Day combined.

Don't feel bad if you see your ex with someone else today. Remember, our parents taught us to give the things we don't need to the less fortunate. Happy Singles' Day.
