The history of Father's Day is nowhere near as well established as Mother's Day (which goes back 1000's of years), Father's Day goes back only as far as 1909. The thing it does have in common is it was the creation of a strong-hearted American woman. It can be on a different date each year – much like Mother's Day, and also has the similarity of always being on a Sunday. Father's Day always falls on the third Sunday of June.

Father's Day problems

It's true, buying a present or celebrating Mother's Day is much easier than for Father's Day. Unless your Father has a particular interest/hobby such as fishing or reading, or whatever most people find that it is very difficult to buy for your father. A lot of  people I have found in this situation go for elaborate gadgets which obviously get more and more technical and expensive each year. But is it the present that is really important? I mean my Dad's main interest is watching the TV, and as he already has one of those (in each room) that is not an option. I have also found that I am certainly not by any means alone in this situation.

Father's Day  - Memories versus Gadgets

Although too late for this year (although if you have yet to give your Dad a present, or if the weather can be blamed!), here are possible ideas for next year (from real Dad's):

Anyway, that's me for now. Again, I am only sorry this did not come earlier – but I hope it has given least some of you something to think about.
