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
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!
