How to Celebrate Father's Day



Father's Day is a celebration honoring fathers and celebrating fatherhood, paternal bonds, and the influence of fathers in society. Many countries celebrate it on the third Sunday of June, though it is also celebrated widely on other days by many other countries.

1. Help your dad to celebrate the day.
Perhaps you'll let him sleep in this morning, or perhaps you won't harry him over something you'd normally harry him over. Whatever it is, let it be his day. Some nice ways to start it include:
     A)   Making him breakfast in bed
     B)   Bringing him the newspaper to read in bed
     C)   Baking his favorite kind of cake.


2. Make it a family occasion.
Father's Day is by nature a family occasions. Use this opportunity to get everyone in the family together for a fun day. Think about including all the dads in your family, not just your own father. Could your celebration include husbands, likely future dads, your uncles, and brothers? If so, do it—the more the merrier! And don't forget step-fathers—they're important too. You don't have to remain at home; you could go to the beach, a local park, a favorite spot of dad's!


3. Be creative.
When it comes to making gifts for Father's Day, perhaps clear of the traditional store-bought materials of shirts and dhotis. He's probably still got last year's shirts stuffed at the back of the drawer. Expensive or typical gifts are not necessary, but the time and effort you put in to create a personalized compliment, will be deeply appreciated. Instead, let your own creative abilities shine and make him something special:
      1.      Prepare the sweets
      2.      Make his favorite lunch
      3.      Make a gift basket and fill it with homemade chocolates and flowers.



4. Celebrate your shared experiences. 
Look at old photos of your dad and you doing exciting things together. Take a walk down memory lane by creating either a photo album. You may be shocked at how many things you both have over and done about and how much they mean to you.
Especially if he doesn't talk much about his life, consider recording his voice or taking notes as you talk about old times or old photographs. Write a letter and memories part of the family history.


5. Make the day happy.
The most important part of the day is that you are present and attentive. It does not provide a material to make a dad happy—it takes showing your love, and encouraging your dad that you're proud of him and all he's done for you. For many fathers, the most rewarding part of being a father is feeling that your children love you, and the facts that each child is on a path to a successful future, no matter what age, and is coping well with the problems that life certainly throws at us all.


6. End his "fun-filled day" by telling your father you love him.
Don't forget his hug and kiss!
