Father’s Day has been celebrated for over 100 years. It’s also an event celebrated in many countries around the world, although at different times of the year. In North America and the United Kingdom, Father’s Day is celebrated on the third Sunday in June.
Help dad enjoy the day. Perhaps you’ll let him sleep in this morning, or perhaps you won’t badger him over something you’d normally badger him over. Whatever it is, let it be his day. Some nice ways to start it include:
- Bringing him the newspaper to read in bedMa
- king his favorite pot of coffee
Make it a family event.
Father’s Day is by nature a family event. 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, would-be 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!
Consider building the celebration around an activity you all can enjoy. Some ideas include:
- Having a family picnic
- Enjoying a family barbecue
- Celebrate Father’s Day
- Taking dad to a favorite sporting event
Be creative.

He’s probably still got last year’s socks 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 tribute, will be deeply appreciated. Instead, let your own creative abilities shine and make him something special:
