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, much like the more well-known Mother’s Day. It takes place in June or September, depending on the country you are in and dates from the early 20th century.
During this particular day, the whole family comes together to celebrate the parents and grandparents in each other. And while there aren’t any specific customs like, say, Thanksgiving when each 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 gifts they prepared for them. This is a beautiful time, full of emotions, for both parents and children. The youth prepare songs, poems and greetings, all saying “Happy Father’s Day” in different ways. The older ones 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 for parents to use, such as watches, personalized knickknacks and accessories, electronics, or gift baskets.
After this part passes, it’s time for the party to begin. 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 the 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, either between family members or between members of the local community.
After that, some like to play Father’s Day games, which can be outdoors (throwing, soccer) or indoors (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 all 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.
