What is the origin of Father's Day?
Father's Day is a holiday that celebrates fatherhood and is usually celebrated on the third Sunday of June. The day was created to complement Mother's Day. Father's Day was first proposed in May of 1908 by a woman named Sonora Smart Dodd. Her Dad William Jackson Smart, had been a widower for several years and had raised six children on his own. Dodd wanted to show her father how much she appreciated all he had done for her and her siblings, so she proposed the idea of a holiday celebrating fathers. The first Father's Day was celebrated on June 19, 1910 in Spokane, Washington.
There are many different ways to celebrate Father's Day. Some people take their fathers or father figure out for a special meal, while others might buy a unique father's day gift. Most importantly, Father's Day is a day to spend quality time with family, even if it's just to play board games or go on a weekend camping trip, these gifts are a great way to celebrate and strengthen your father-son relationship.
