Unique Ways To Honor Dad This Father’s Day
SUNDAY-TUESDAY | 11 AM-2 AM WEDNESDAY-THURSDAY | 7 AM-2 AM FRIDAY-SATURDAY | 6 AM-2 AM
Father’s Day is a day many families look forward to. Though its history might not go back as far as many religious or government-designated holidays, Father’s Day is rife with tradition in many households. Father’s Day is celebrated on the third Sunday in June. While Father’s Day might trace its origins to the United States, the holiday is celebrated across the globe, including in Argentina, Greece, India, Singapore, & New Zealand. Fathers often receive gifts from their spouses & children on Father’s Day. What to give the dad who seemingly has it all leaves many people scratching their heads in the weeks preceding Father’s Day. People who find themselves in such situations can think outside the box & look for ways to honor their fathers this year. The following are some unique ways to honor Dad this Father’s Day. Travel - Dad may be pleasantly surprised by a stroll down Memory Lane. Plan a day trip or weekend excursion to Dad’s hometown, visiting all his old haunts, including the house he grew up in, and allow him to serve as tour guide. This can be a great way for Dad to share stories & for his family to learn a little more about the old man. Other great places to visit include Dad’s college campus or his ancestral homeland. Highlight Reel - In the months preceding Father’s Day, do some covert digging through family photo albums to create a “This Is Your Life” highlight reel for Dad. Go back as far as possible, even looking through Dad’s baby photos if you can find them. This might require a collaborative effort, requiring the whole family to work together, but that can make for an enjoyable way for families to spend time together & see how Dad became the man he is today. Present the finished product at a family dinner on Father’s Day. Make A List - Another unique way to honor Dad is to compile a list of the many ways you are & will always be grateful for having him as a father. Adults honoring their fathers can cite specific examples they recall from childhood and young adulthood when Dad went above & beyond or served as a sounding board or shoulder to cry on. This is a great way to honor Dad & let him know all those sacrifices & special moments are still appreciated & will never be forgotten. Father’s Day is a chance to honor Dad, & the way you choose to do so can be as unique as the man himself.
