As you may already know, Father’s Day is in many parts of the world an official celebration dedicated to the male members of the family, very similar to the more well-known Mother’s Day. It takes place in June or September, depending on the country you are in and dates back to the beginning of the 20th century.
During this particular day, the whole family gets together to celebrate the parents and grandparents with each other. And while there are no specific customs like, say, Thanksgiving, when every table has a stuffed turkey, there are still a number of family activities that can be done on Father’s Day.
The best part is when the children give their dad the presents they prepared for them. This is a beautiful moment, full of emotions, for both parents and children. The youngsters prepare songs, poems and greetings, all saying “Happy Father’s Day” in different ways. Older people can make all kinds of crafts, such as cards, photo frames and other things made with their own hands, to show their parents how much they care about them. And adults often offer physical gifts that the parents will use, such as watches, personalized ornaments and accessories, electronics, or gift baskets.
After this part is over, it’s time for the party to start. Since Father’s Day is during the summer in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom, the weather often allows for all kinds of activities. And while most families like to get together for a special Father’s Day meal, where desserts like muffins and ice cream are always present, others like to spend Father’s Day by the pool, on the beach, in a picnic or while enjoying a barbecue with your children. relatives and neighbors. Because this celebration is about strengthening ties, whether between family members or between members of the local community.
After that, some like to play Father’s Day games, which can be outside (throwing, soccer) or inside (putting together a big puzzle with the help of the family).
At the end of the day, everyone should be happy. Because as I said before, Father’s Day is about celebrating family and love, and no matter what activities you and your family members are going to do, you should never forget the essence of this particular day.
