Five Fabulous Father's Day Ideas

Fathers Day Ideas


Five Fabulous Father's Day Ideas 2012

1.  A Day Off
Dad works hard, and deserves a day off from time to time, so make Father's Day that day. Let him know that from sun up to sun down he can do exactly what he wants – watch a sports game, hang out with the guys, tinker with the car – it's all fair game on Dad's Day Off.

2. A Clean Car
A freshly detailed car is guaranteed to make any dad smile. Get busy this father's day washing, polishing and vacuuming your Dad's ride into tip-top shape.

3. Take Out an Ad
You know how much you love your dad, but does the rest of the world?  Use  the newspaper to tell Dad just how much you appreciate him.  Lots of newspapers offer special Father's Day listings

4. Youtube Video
Have the family make up a song for dad, record it and upload it on Youtube or do a collage of family movies together.

5. Picnic
But not just any picnic.   Surprise him with his favorite meal or get take out from his favorite restaurant.  Go that extra mile and pick up some of his favorite drinks and desserts.  Find a fun unusual place to have the picnic so it will be a fun surprise.   It could be as simple as just setting up everything in the backyard or the living room floor.

The origin of Father's Day

Father's Day
The origin of Father's Day was a West Virginia church On July 5, 1908 sponsored the nation’s first event explicitly in honor of fathers, a sermon in memory of the men who had died in the Fairmont Coal Company mines, but it was a one-time commemoration and not an annual holiday.

In 1910 a woman named Sonora Smart Dodd tried to establish an official Father's Day. She went to local churches, store owners and government officials to drum up support for her idea, and was successful: Washington State celebrated the nation’s first statewide Father’s Day on July 19, 1910.
  
In 1924, President Calvin Coolidge urged state governments to observe Father’s Day. 

Today Father's Day falls on the 3rd Sunday of June.  This year Father's Day will be June 16, 2012.

History of Mother's Day

Mom and Daughter

The history of Mothers Day dates back to the ancient annual spring festival the Greeks dedicated to maternal goddesses Rhea, wife of Cronus and the mother of many deities of Greek mythology.

Ancient Romans celebrated a spring festival called Hilaria dedicated to the mother goddess Cybele.   

Early Christians celebrated a Mother's Day festival on the fourth Sunday of Lent in honor of the Virgin Mary. In England the holiday was expanded to include all mothers. It was then called Mothering Sunday.
