Father’s Day is celebrated every third Sunday of June and this year it will be celebrated on 21 June. Apart from India, the UK, US and several other countries also celebrate the Father’s Day on the same date.
Go ahead and do something special for your father this year. Write a thank you note, buy him a gift or bake a cake at home; any gesture that you make to show your gratefulness towards him will surely make him happy and proud to be your father.
Some people try to make this day special for their fathers and father-like figures. Many celebrate the day by visiting their fathers, buying them gifts, flowers or greeting cards and try to thank them for their contribution in making them who they are.
Sonora Smart Dodd, a woman from the United States, is given the credit for the origin of Father’s Day. Many believe that she was inspired by the American Mother's Day and promoted a day dedicated to celebrate the fathers. The United State celebrated its first Father’s Day on 19 June 1910.
